BIBLE READING: 2 Samuel 9:1-13
1 And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?
2 And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he.
3 And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet.
4 And the king said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.
5 Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.
6 Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant!
7 And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father’s sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.
8 And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?
9 Then the king called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said unto him, I have given unto thy master’s son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house.
10 Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master’s son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master’s son shall eat bread alway at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
11 Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king’s sons.
12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.
13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king’s table; and was lame on both his feet.
QUESTION FOR MEDITATION
Q.2 – Is there any example for me to follow or not to follow?
Scripture Union Daily Guide 7 June 2026 – OUTLINE
What distinguished King David from other leaders in regards to revenge (vs.11-12)? David’s memories of Jonathan remained fresh even though Saul regarded him as an archenemy. David kept his promises to Jonathan, his friend (Proverbs 17:17; 18:24; 27:10). He went in search of anyone left in the house of King Saul to whom he could show favour for Jonathan’s sake.
When the faithful servant of King Saul, Ziba, met with the king, he brought Mephibosheth without delay. From v.7, notice three specificpromises David made to Mephibosheth and his immediate action (v.9). What lesson in leadership compassion do we learn from v.10? Mephibosheth was given a high place of honour, a position reserved for a prince. He was not stigmatized for his physical deformity. This is nothing but grace in action (v.11).
Christ adopted us and made us sit with Him (Ephesians 2:1-6). What endears men to a leader is when such leader exhibits justice equitably.
So what? Mephibosheth benefited from the friendship investment made by his father. What legacy or good will are you leaving behind for your children?
Prayer: O Lord, help me to be a compassionate leader who illuminates the dark world with the love of Christ.
