2 Samuel 19:15-30
David forgave the sin of Shimei when Shimei confessed he has sin who cursed the king.
Mephibosheth, also went down to meet the king. He had not taken care of his feet or trimmed his mustache or washed his clothes from the day the king left until the day he returned safely. He replied to the king, “My lord the king, since I your servant am lame, I will have my donkey waggled and will ride on it, so I can go with the king.’ But Ziba my servant betrayed me. And he has slandered your servant to my lord the king. My lord the king is like an angel of God; so do whatever you wish.”
The king said to him, “Why say more? I order you and Ziba to divide the land.” Mephibosheth said to the king, “Let him take everything, now that my lord the king has returned home safely.”
David is in effect punishing loyalty and rewarding rebellion. Now that the king is crack in power, there are some who are anxious to find favor. Shimei and Barzillai.
Why?
David rewarded the rebellion, and treated kind to those who cursed him. Forgave Mephibosheth did not come with him. David did not punish Ziba for he betrayed his master. All of these make his country in peace and united.
Because today is Israel day so David showed his kindness to everyone. This is the high altitude of a king to all his people. This is a joyful day. Salvation is come.
Mephibosheth is humble and appreciated the king David, so he did not care what he has.
David asked the reason why Mephibosheth did not come with him, so when we doubt something we should ask the one to make it clear.

示美與洗八都是心懷不軌，他們轉變不是悔改，而是見風轉舵！
示美算是酒肉朋友，有難時咒罵，有權時邀功。行為主義在作祟。
米非波設不是見風轉舵，他從大衛落難第一天開始沒有修腳洗衣服，對大衛的心始終如一，更有說服力，沒有搶第一去迎接。存心謙卑，心存感恩。我本來就是該死的人，不配得到的人，他也不求他失去的土地，體貼大衛的難處。只求他主人的好處。我們基督徒也須要像他一樣。我們本來是不配的，我們應只為神著想。我們常常是滿足自己而不是主的心。我們求的是什麼？
宣揚召我們處黑暗入光明者的美德

How?
We should find favor before the Lord either.
