10 And I stand over him, and put him to death, for I knew that he doth not live after his falling, and I take the crown which 'is' on his head, and the bracelet which 'is' on his arm, and bring them in unto my lord hither.'
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.
