Chad, we are in chapter 10 of second Samuel we last week got to hear about David being like I got to show the kindness of God to someone from the house of saw particularly because I made a promise or an oath or a covenant to Jonathan and we had this beautiful story about David and Jonathan's crippled son and got a real good picture of what it means to be invited to sit at the Lord's table forever and always.

And now we're going to move back into David says well let's eat up let's get some dinner in our bellies because

tomorrow I gotta go fight some people.

Yeah, that's about right. Yeah, it's a chapter 9 and 10 are pretty fascinating counterpoints to each other because you see you see David in a couple of different lights. His impetus, the reason he does what he does, the beginning of chapter 9 and chapter 10 is really the same. He's wanting to show

he said he's going to show kindness for devotion or loyalty to somebody. But in Chapter 9, everything goes great because you have

Mephebacheth and he's grateful for the gift of David, he has a seat at David's

table, and everything just works out the way that David wants it to.

You get into chapter 10 and David wants to show kindness to the son of someone that he knew just like of course this is the son of

Jonathan who they showed mercy to now he's wanting to show mercy to the son of

a king who just passed except this time things are not going to go well.

In fact, they're going to go terribly.
