Daily Bible Reading - April 18th, 2021 | American Bible Society: 2 Samuel 9:1-13: On one of the occasions when David spared Saul’s life, David promised that he would spare Saul’s descendants (1 Samuel 24:21, 22). He had also promised Saul’s son, Jonathan, that he would show loyalty to Jonathan’s family (1 Samuel 20:14-16). In today’s reading, David wants to show kindness to Saul’s family. He seeks out Jonathan’s son Mephibosheth who is crippled, and David gives him the land that once belonged to his grandfather Saul. David promises to feed and care for him like one of his own sons.
