A King's Generosity

Commentators note that David's first act after blessing the people was to provide for them generously. He distributed food not just to the men or the leaders, but to the "whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women." This act of sharing the sacrificial feast demonstrates a shepherd-king's heart, ensuring that the national celebration of God's presence was personally experienced by every individual in their own home.
