1 Samuel 25:12 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings. — 1 Samuel 25:12
Source Coverage: 1 Samuel 25:12-17
God is kind to the evil and unthankful, and why may not we be so? David determined to destroy Nabal, and all that belonged to him. Is this thy voice, O David? Has he been so long in the school of affliction, where he should have learned patience, and yet is so passionate? He at other times was calm and considerate, but is put into such a heat by a few hard words, that he seeks to destroy a whole family. What are the best of men, when God leaves them to themselves, that they may know
what is in their hearts? What need to pray, Lord, lead us not into temptation!
