2 Samuel 8-10

Remembering our covenant with God is important. Being faithful to that promise is critical. But God also expects us to respond to others in the same manner of honestly, humility, and integrity as we deal with him. When David was established as king over all Israel he remembered the covenant that he had made with Jonanthan and sought out some means to pour out that residual love on Jonathan's family. Chapter 9 tells how he sought out Mephibosheth. It would have been expected that the new king would kill everyone of the household of the former king. But David knew his throne was secured by God's hand. Therefore he didn't waste political power on the task of strengthening his throne; he honored his covenant with Jonathan. Which is an example for us to follow.
It took me about 13 minutes over two sittings to read this passage.
