What does the death of a limited number of men from the house of David (nineteen servants) show?

2 Samuel 2:30 (ESV)

30 Joab returned from the pursuit of Abner. And when he had gathered all the people together, there were missing from David’s servants nineteen men besides Asahel.

The death of a limited number of David’s men confirms that the house of David was growing stronger and that his house enjoyed the Lord’s favour.
