In 1 Samuel 26, David is given the perfect opportunity to take revenge on King Saul, the very man who has spent years hunting him down. Instead, David chooses mercy. Why? Because mercy isn’t about pretending everything is okay. Mercy is trusting God with what isn’t fair.
As we examine David’s remarkable restraint, we’ll discover how his story points us to Jesus—the One who showed mercy even to those who crucified Him.
