He said to me, ‘Please stand beside me, and kill me; for anguish has taken hold of me, because my life lingers in me.’
Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
He said to me, ‘Please stand beside me, and kill me, for anguish has taken hold of me because my life lingers in me.’
Then he begged me, ‘Stand over me and kill me, for agony has seized me, but my life still lingers.’
And he said unto me, Stand, I pray thee, beside me, and slay me; for anguish hath taken hold of me, because my life is yet whole in me.

Matthew Henry · Verses 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.
