Contextual Overview
9 Then the king called Saul's servant Ziba and said to him, "I have given to your owner's grandson all that belonged to Saul and his family. 10 You and your sons and your servants will grow food on the land for him. You will bring in the food so your owner's grandson may eat. But Mephibosheth your owner's grandson will always eat at my table." Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. 11 Then Ziba said to the king, "Your servant will do all that my lord the king tells your servant to do." So Mephibosheth ate at David's table as one of the king's sons. 12 Mephibosheth had a young son whose name was Mica. And all who lived in Ziba's house were Mephibosheth's servants. 13 So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, for he always ate at the king's table. Both his feet had been hurt and he could not walk.

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 Saul’s death. He may have been thirteen at David’s accession to the throne of Israel. In the eighth year of David’s 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 David’s reign.
Micha - Or Micah; who, as far as we know, was Mephibosheth’s only son, and had a numerous posterity (marginal references).
