Then said Abishai to David "God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not [smite] him the second time"
And David said to Abishai " Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand agaisn't the lord's anointed, and be guiltless?"
David said furthermore "As the lord liveth, the lord shall smite; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle and perish."
David is someone who definitley inspires what it means to be a man of God. He had an opportunity to get rid of his enemy, the one guy who made it an attempt to kill him. I'm sure David was tired of having Saul chase him around, but in this instance he choose not to fight back.
Guys David didn't fight back because he was too scared, he surely wouldn't have entered his camp if he was. It wasn't because he wasn't strong enough either, hey David killed a lion with his bear hands! Even Saul knows that!
No David wasn't wasn't trying to prove that he was tough enough to kill Saul, but a man who follows God!
