1 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead. 2 Then said David, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me.

And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father.

And David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.

Kindness is fruit of the Spirit- selfless, compassionate, and merciful.

As New Testament believers out to emulate kindness.

Ephesians 4: 31-32

In the last chapter he showed kindness to Jonathan’s son Mephibosheth.

(He received God’s kindness)

-

Hanun should have interview with David servants himself.

Principal- NEVER ASSUME get clarity investigate, observe, and pray.

Matthew 26:41

Don’t be ruled by a spirit of suspicion, fear, do not be a toxic person.

Believe the best in people until their actions prove you wrong.

Look at Hanun reacted when his suspicion and fear ruled him.

Without questioning the servants, seeking understanding .

Hanun assumed that were spies trying to overthrow.

Hunan's actions showed that he and his advisors were insure and unwise.

Often times immature and insecure people react in ways where they project what that would do in how they treat other.

Principle: Don’t be surprise when others try to embarrass or humiliate you because of their insecurities.

Do not stoop to their level.

David honored his men and did not want the to be more embarrassed by returning back to Isreal.

When Ammon realized their action were stink before David (repulsive) The failed to humble themselves and repent.-

The got others involved.-

Do not get involved in other people mess.

Their acts of aggression led to an unnecessary war and death of over 40,000 men.
