2 Samuel 1-4

David is distressed at the news of Saul's and Jonathan's deaths. On two occassions, he makes clear his belief that the men, Saul and Ish-bosheth, were to be left unharmed, and that "the Lord, who has redeemed my life out of every adversity" (4v9) would deal appropriately with them. We must use wisdom to know when to fight and when to submit.
