Then Saul went home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold. [22] Commonly a new king (of a new dynasty) killed all the descendants of the king he replaced to get rid of potential rivals, but David swore an oath not to wipe out Saul's dynasty, which he fulfilled by his treatment of Mephibosheth, son of Jonathan (2 Samuel 9).
