Hebrews 11-32c5 The Ends Do Not Justify The Means

David had opportunities to kill Saul. In fact those with him saw it as God delivering Saul into David's hands just for that reason. David declined to do so, and forbid those with him to take Saul's life. Instead, he determined to wait for God's timing as to when he would become king. Although he knew he was anointed to become the next king, he refused to usurp God's process.
