As David's kingdom and legend grow, so does his kindness. In 2 Samuel 8-10, we read of the conquests of the nation of Israel over it's enemies, with David at the lead. He makes Israel into a strong fighting force and follows God with a servant's heart. David seeks to honor God in all he does.
David learns that Saul's grandson (Jonathan's son) is still alive. Most kings would fear that this disposed reign would eventually seek revenge and wipe them out. Not David, he not only brought the grandson into the court, he gifted back to him the lands of his grandfather!
Kindness is easy to talk about but rare on the follow-through. Keep Matt 25:40 in mind "when you did it for one of the least of my brothers and sisters, you were doing it for me."....Jesus
