2 Samuel 9:3 • 1 min. read • grade level: 3

2SA 9:3³And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet. (2 Samuel 9:3)

Is there not yet any . . . that I may show the kindness of God unto him?

2 Sam. 9:3³And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet. (2 Samuel 9:3)

This was a genuine desire of a heart of love. David, now the king of Israel, wanted to show the kindness of God to the family of the man who had given him the most trouble. (Saul had even tried to kill David.) That’s God’s heart. It was said of David that he was a man after God’s own heart. God and David had common thoughts, desires, and actions. Kindness is a Christian quality that should be evident at all times. Even our words should be kind words. Let’s be kind - for Jesus’ sake.
