When Avshalom, the son of Dovid, lost the battle that he waged against his father, Achimatz, son of Tzadok, the Cohen Gadol, came to tell him the good news. But he only told him the good news, that Dovid won the war; he left out the bad news that Avshalom was killed. Dovid called him a good person who gives good news, and he was promoted to a higher position. Only his family, Bnei Tzadok, will become Cohanim Gedolim when Moshiach comes. The family of Evyasar HaCohen, cannot. It is interesting that when Adoniyahu ben Chagis also rebelled against Dovid, Yehonasan ben Evyasar reported the bad news to Adoniyahu.
They had just coronated Shlomo to be king, and Yehonasan told Adoniyahu that he just lost the crown. Notice how a leader is always the Ayin Tova person. An Ayin Tova type is “above” the pettiness and unending negativity that normal human nature is usually guilty of. People who work on Ayin Tova and positivism are heading for greatness.
Dovid HaMelech is the leader of Klal Yisroel, and our true Moshiach Hashem. Notice how his life is loaded with being Dan L'kaf Zechus, and even after Shaul HaMelech threw a spear at him three times, he still wasn’t sure that Shaul was actually out to kill him! Look how he trusted Avshalom who played tricks on him, and how he forgave his worst enemies, like Avner and Shim'i ben Gera. He was Maspid Avner like he was the biggest Tzaddik, and he made Shim'i ben Gera his son Shlomo’s Rebbe. This is despite the hatred that Shim'i had for Dovid, and despite the fact that Avner had instigated Shaul to consider Dovid his enemy!
