2 Samuel 8-10

It took me about 12 minutes to read this passage which speaks of Davids compassion and victories.  God continued to be with David, and David responded by ruling justly.  There was no corruption or selfishness in Davids actions or judgments.  His reverence of God led him to act as God directed him.  To add to his justice David added compassion by reaching out to the son of Jonathan son of Saul.  He did as God led him and restored Sauls inheritance to him, and gave him a seat as the kings table because of the covenant between Jonathan and David.  Because David continued to follow God as he gained power, God gave his army even greater victories for his glory.
