Second Shmuel 9, 11 David was very generous to the surviving member of Saul's family, Jonathan's son, Mephiboshet, who was crippled because the nursemaid (Shmuel bet 4, 4) wasn't careful and he fell. David offered him to "eat at his table."
Later, during Avshalom's rebellion, David fled, and people went to support David. When David asked where Mephiboshet was, he was told that he was in Jerusalem waiting to be crowned king.
Second Samuel 16, 3 Then later when David returned and asked him, he got all sorts
of strange excuses.
Kohelet 6, 7-8 Our job is to go with G-d, rich or poor. Careful that you don't lose your soul.
Ok, that's it for last week's, but I guess you'll have to wait for this week's.
