Questions:
What are some repeated words or phrases in this passage?
Based on your knowledge of the Bible, what is “the kindness of God” (v.3)?
How does David demonstrate loving-kindness to Mephibosheth?
How do his actions reflect the grace and mercy of God? How can we do the same?
Why does David show loving-kindness to him (v.1, 7)? (See 1 Sam 20:14-17; 23:16-18)
How does this encourage our covenant-keeping? What promises to God or others are you determined to keep by God’s grace?
Why is eating at the king’s table so special (v.7,10,11,13)?
What parallels do you see with the love of God to us in Jesus Christ?
How can you show God’s loving-kindness to those around you?

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for the covenant-keeping love of Christ! Thank you for the repeated declaration and demonstration of your steadfast love! By your grace, please help us keep all our covenant-promises. Help us take seriously and fulfill our commitments to you, our church, and our spouse (if married). Forgive us for the times and ways we have failed to do so. Or taken our commitments lightly. By your grace, help us to show your loving-kindness to those around us. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Questions: Read 2 Sam. 8 and then discuss the following questions:
1. What are some of your first reactions to this chapter? Why?
2. The historical information here can feel a little dry, but how does it connect with the grand promises and prayers of 2 Sam. 7?
3. What does this tell us about God?
4. What two verses specifically in chapter 8 affirm this truth about God?
5. Who wins all these battles? What is the relationship between God’s work and our work? How do you see this play out in your own life?
6. David fought in literal battles-something most of us will never do. But how does this chapter encourage you in the battles you do face every day?
7. What promises of Scripture can you cling to when victory seems either impossible or unlikely? How can you persevere in the face of defeat or disappointment?
8. What two qualities describe David’s reign in Jerusalem? How can we display similar qualities? At home, at church, in our communities, or in our country?

Prayer: Lord, thank you for this reminder of your great faithfulness to your promises. We thank and praise you for the victories you have already given us. And we pray that as we continue to serve and honor you, you would help us to stand firm in our battles against sin and temptation; against evil and unrighteousness. Through the power of your Spirit, and for your glory, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
