2 Samuel 9 shows David extending covenant kindness to Mephibosheth, Jonathan’s disabled son, not because of worthiness but because of a promise rooted in loyal love (ḥesed). The former rival is brought out of exile, restored, and seated at the king’s own table as if he were a son. This chapter paints a powerful picture of God’s grace toward us—He seeks us, restores us, and invites us to share life at His table.
