Contextual Overview
9 David called in Ziba, Saul's chief servant, and told him, "Since Mephibosheth is Saul's grandson, I've given him back everything that belonged to your master Saul and his family. 10 You and your fifteen sons and twenty servants will work for Mephibosheth. You will farm his land and bring in his crops, so that Saul's family and servants will have food. But Mephibosheth will always eat with me at my table." 11Ziba replied, "Your Majesty, I will do exactly what you tell me to do." So Ziba's family and servants worked for Mephibosheth. Mephibosheth was lame, but he lived in Jerusalem and ate at David's table, just like one of David's own sons. And he had a young son of his own, named Mica.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name [was] Micha,.... What his age was is not said from him sprung a progeny of several generations, 1 Chronicles 8:34;
and all that dwelt in the house Ziba [were] servants to Mephibosheth; his sons and his servants.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Mephibosheth was five years old at Saulâs death. He may have been thirteen at Davidâs accession to the throne of Israel. In the eighth year of Davidâs reign over all Israel he would have been twenty-one. His having a son at this time indicates that we are about the 10th year of Davidâs reign.
Micha - Or Micah; who, as far as we know, was Mephiboshethâs only son, and had a numerous posterity (marginal references).
