Blessed are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy; if David had not shown mercy to that servant boy(dieing of thirst and hunger) found on the field on their way to pursue and overtake their enemies who has taken into captive their families and inheritance(Properties). Despite the bad situation they are in, they did not let this situation to control them, they let the Spirit of God in them to control their actions of showing mercy to the servant boy in need, however they themselves are in great need, they meet the need of someone lesser than theirs, because its in their capacity to help the boy. Who in turn will meet their great need by taking them to the enemies they are searching for without stress( without the boy's help it would have been hard for them to know where their enemies camp).
David recovered everything the Amalekites had taken, including His two wives. Nothing was missing: young or old, boy or girl, plunder or everything else they had taken, David brought everything back.

Summarily; Don't let your situation control you, allow God to work in you both to will and to act according to His good purpose in that situation(you are in). Even if you are embanking on a journey God ask you to go, obey this principle why carrying out that act...God might have position someone who "does not look like can help" you on your way, if you are merciful to that person, you also will be shown mercy by him/her. Obey this principle it will work for you, disobey it and you will just be wandering here and there without getting to your promise land or accomplishing your purpose on earth.

Do good things in both palatable and non-palatable situations. Remain blessed.
- Shalom.
