David và Mephibosheth

King David, crowned and robed in royal splendor, bends toward Mephibosheth, the lame son of Jonathan, who kneels before him with crutches at his side. A servant stands in the doorway as the royal audience unfolds inside the palace, emphasizing the contrast between David’s throne authority and Mephibosheth’s vulnerable posture. The scene portrays the covenant mercy of 2 Samuel 9, when David seeks out a survivor from Saul’s house for Jonathan’s sake and restores to Mephibosheth the family inheritance. David’s extended hands embody covenant faithfulness, grace, and welcome at the king’s table. The moment illustrates how biblical kingship is marked not only by power, but by mercy toward the weak and remembrance of promises made in love.
