Q. How got David this heavenly disposition?
1. The occasion was 1 Sam. 24. as the title of the Psalm bears, Saul with three thousand men-persons, David in the rocks of the wild goats in the wilderness of Engedi; Saul went into the cave to cover his feet, and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave; and David went in and cut the lap of Sauls garment, and had in his power to kill Saul, and his men counselled him so to do; but in stead of affrighting Saul and his army, the Lord suggests the fear and awe of God, he durst not kill him.
