Questions to consider:
1. What does this passage teach you about God?
2. What does this teach you about humanity and the world?
3. Explain the whole progression in the interactions between Shimei and David. Why did David spare his life?
4. David extends grace and kindness to several people in this chapter: Judah’s troops, Shimei, Mephibosheth. What did they deserve? How is this a picture of the Gospel?
5. In what ways (especially in this chapter) does David point to a true and better King, Jesus?
Let’s pray:
Father, I pray that I would become more merciful and kind, like David is. Would you help me practice this in my everyday life?
