2 Samuel 9:1 ESV
David models integrity: Say what you mean, and do what you say.
2 Samuel 9:2-5 ESV
To fulfill his promise, David pursues Mephibosheth.
2 Samuel 9:6-13 ESV
Mephibodsheth deserves nothing, fears the outcome, but receives grace.
Mephibodsheth never got over what David did.
2nd Samuel 19:27b-28 ; 30
My lord the king is like an angel of God; so do whatever you wish. 28 All my grandfatherʼs descendants deserved nothing but death from my lord the king, but you gave your servant a place among those who eat at your table. So what right do I have to make any more appeals to the king?”
The story of David and Mephibosheth is the story of God and us.
