2 Samuel 19 Kingdom Minded - Coggle Diagram
2 Samuel 19
Kingdom Minded
Winning hearts by forgiveness
Asked his own tribe to bring him back
His own family and clans who tried to kill him
Asked his own nephew, the opposing army commander, to come over and be elected as the new commander
Spared the undeserving
Shimei
A man who kicked him when he was down
Like a coward, came snivelling for forgiveness when David returned to power
Not a fool though, he ordered him to come to Jerusalem as a way of house arrest
Also rebuked the volatile Abishai, who was pretty much ready to defend his king's honor over a political play
Ziba
A servant who betrayed his master
Was shown mercy for his treachery
Remembers his promise
Restores Mephibosheth's honor and trust
Rewarded Barzillai through Kimham, his relative by bringing him to Jerusalem to live with him and granted him a place at his table of the future generations
Application
Forgive
Let go, restore and win others back
Grace
Leave any judgement to God, and live out Christ to others
Faithful
Show gratitude to those who help us
