One answer: Duncan is insightful, respectful and shows moral order for the little time he has in the play. Another: Duncan is far from insightful: he is astonished by the treason of Cawdor ("He was a gentleman in whom I placed an absolute trust."), chooses the feckless Malcolm as his heir instead of the better-qualified Macbeth, and is oblivious to the resentment Macbeth feels over being passed over. He is a good man but not a very good king.
