1Ch_10:14 And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
Ver. 14. And inquired not of the Lord.] He did, and yet he did not. {See Trapp on "1Sa_28:6"}
Therefore he slew him.] He killed him with death, as Rev_2:23.
And turned the kingdom unto David.] Though it were long first, and after many trials and tribulations. Sic petitur caelum; heaven is not to be had, but after much pains and patience.
