Add to ORKGDisability has often been seen as a negative narrative element used in Samuel-Kings, often invoked in context of healing or a context of ridicule and punishment. In this paper I propose that this is a too one-sided view of things and that disability is not necessarily a negative narrative element. By looking at the stories of Mephibosheth (1 Samuel 9) and Ahaziah (2 Kings 15), I argue that disability is not seen as a negative element, but as a "fact of life", that may influence the life of the person, but does not mean the person is punished by God
