Having bull dozed my way through life this was a clear reminder of the need for patience, a knowledge of God and his precepts so I can be alert to the temptations that would take me off the path. I am grateful to be learning to recognize human will, which is opposed to God, and challenge this way living with practical steps.

Matthew Henry Commentary
“God delivered Saul into David’s hand. It was an opportunity given to David to exercise faith and patience. He had a promise of the kingdom, but no command to slay the king. He reasons strongly, both with himself and with his men, against doing Saul any hurt. Sin is a thing which it becomes us to startle at, and to resist temptations thereto. He not only would not do this bad thing himself, but he would not suffer those about him to do it.”
