1 Samuel 24:1–22

David had the advantage. A king within arm’s reach. But instead of revenge, he chose restraint. This is the story of how mercy can speak louder than power. Sometimes the sharpest edge is the one not used.

Bottom Line: Even when people acknowledge mercy, it doesn't guarantee change. Show restraint anyway
