Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

1:1-10 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.


2 Samuel 1:8 "He said to me, 'Who are you?' And I answered him, 'I am an Amalekite.'
