Another good lesson. An unbeliever understands very little of God’s heart of love. These two men thought that they were going to please David by killing Ishbosheth. Little did they understand David’s heart. Ishbosheth was Saul’s son. Saul had tried many times to kill David. But David had shown before how he felt toward anyone who would try to harm Saul (2 Sam. 1:16). So these two men should have known better. But unbelief never understands. We are constantly applying the events in David’s life to the believer’s life today.
