David restrains himself and his men from killing Saul.Why? The people chose Saul when God WAS PREPARING A GOOD AND UPRIGHT KING for Israel.Saul was appointed also by God for his purpose. "Learn a lesson from this"



Then the men of David said to him, “This is the day of which the Lord said to you, ‘Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do to him as it seems good to you.’ “ And David arose and secretly cut off a corner of Saul’s robe.

Now it happened afterward that David’s heart troubled him because he had cut Saul’s robe.

And he said to his men, “The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the Lord’s anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the Lord.”
So David restrained his servants with these words, and did not allow them to rise against Saul. And Saul got up from the cave and went on his way.
