Contextual Overview
9 Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him, I have given to thy master's son all that pertained to Saul, and to all his house. 10 Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in [the fruits], that thy master's son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat bread always at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. 11 Then said Ziba to the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, [said the king], he shall eat at my table, as one of the king's sons. 12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name [was] Micah. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba [were] servants to Mephibosheth. 13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he ate continually at the king's table; and was lame in both his feet.

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).
