What does the Bible say about David's kindness to Mephibosheth?

Answered in 1 source

David showed kindness to Mephibosheth as an act of grace for Jonathan's sake, representing God's grace towards sinners.

In 2 Samuel 9, David inquires about any remaining members of Saul's house to show kindness for the sake of his friendship with Jonathan. This act symbolizes God's grace as David seeks out Mephibosheth, who was disabled and hiding in Lodabah, and brings him into his presence to eat at the king's table as one of his sons. David's kindness portrays the love of Christ for those who are spiritually impoverished and unable to seek Him. Just as David looked for Mephibosheth, Christ actively seeks out and saves lost sinners.
