2 Samuel 1 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

Tidings brought to David of the death of Saul.

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. (2Sa 1:11-16)
