10 "So I stood beside him and killed him, because I knew that he could not live after he had fallen . And I took the crown which was on his head and the bracelet which was on his arm , and I have brought them here to my lord ."
The blow which opened David's way to the throne was given about the time he had been sorely distressed. Those who commit their concerns to the Lord, will quietly abide his will. It shows that he desired not Saul's death, and he was not impatient to come to the throne.
