2 Samuel 9
Concise Complete
David sends for Mephibosheth. (1-8) And provides for
him. (9-13)
Verses 1-8 Amidst
numerous affairs we are apt to forget the gratitude we owe, and the engagements
we are under, not only to our friends, but to God himself. Yet persons of real
godliness will have no rest till they have discharged them. And the most proper
objects of kindness and charity, frequently will not be found without inquiry.
Jonathan was David's sworn friend, therefore he shows kindness to his son
Mephibosheth. God is faithful to us; let us not be unfaithful to one another. If
Providence has raised us, and our friends and their families are brought low, we
must look upon that as giving us the fairer opportunity of being kind to them.
Verses 9-13 As
David was a type of Christ, his Lord and Son, his Root and Offspring, let his
kindness to Mephibosheth remind us of the kindness and love of God our Saviour
to fallen man, to whom he was under no obligation, as David was to Jonathan. The
Son of God seeks this lost and ruined race, who sought not after him. He comes
to seek and to save them!
