David sought someone from Saul's house (his enemy's family) to show kindness to. He found Mephibosheth (crippled) and gave him a seat at the King's table.

Usually new kings killed the old king's family. David adopted him. Torah connection: Leviticus 19:34 (Love the stranger). The Pharisaic distortion: When you give a dinner, do not invite rich neighbours.

David said to him, “Don’t be afraid; for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your father. You will eat bread at my table continually.”
