Why did Daniel invite Marcus into his home in the bronze bow?

In "The Bronze Bow," Daniel invites Marcus into his home primarily out of a sense of compassion and duty. Marcus, a Roman soldier, is in need of help after being injured, and Daniel's sister, Leah, is particularly drawn to him. Despite Daniel's initial resentment towards the Romans, he recognizes the importance of kindness and humanity, which ultimately leads him to offer Marcus refuge. This act reflects Daniel's internal conflict and the broader themes of forgiveness and understanding in the story.
