2Samuel 7-9; Luke 19:1-28. David decides to build a house for The Lord. But The Lord appears to Nathan the prophet that night and tells David no. But The Lord does promise David the a son of his will build a house doe The Lord and that he will sit on the throne for ever. David gladly accepts and is humbled in prayer. David then goes out and conquers many of the nations around Israel and receives tribute from them. Then David decides to make sure anyone who left of the house of Saul is taken care of. Mephibosheth, son of Jonathan, is still left so David restores his land and has him eat at the king's table.
Jesus arrives in Jericho. He meets Zaccheus. He invites himself to his house for a meal. Zaccheus gladly accepts. The crowd complains. Zaccheus repents. Jesus reminds the crowd that this is why he came - to seek and save the lost. Jesus goes on to tell a parable, the parable of the minas. It is similar to the parable of the talents but I think easier to explain in our modern culture.
