What does the Bible say about God's kindness?

In 2 Samuel 9, God's kindness is displayed through King David's action towards Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan. David sought to show kindness to Mephibosheth, not because of his own merit, but for Jonathan's sake. This illustrates a fundamental truth about God's relationship with humanity: His kindness is rooted in covenant promises and is expressed through unmerited favor. Just as David elevated Mephibosheth, who was in a desolate state, God extends kindness to sinners, inviting them to dine at His table as beloved children, despite their unworthiness.
