Gill's Notes on the Bible
And David said unto him, how, wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand,.... By which it should seem that he did more than stand upon him, and press his body, that the spear might pierce through him, but that he drew his sword, and slew him; so David understood him, and is the sense of the phrase in 1 Samuel 17:51;
to destroy the Lord's anointed? a reason why David did not destroy him, when it was in the power of his hands, and which he made use of to dissuade others from it; and here charges it not only as a criminal, but a daring action in this young man, at which he expresses his admiration how he could do it; hereby representing it as a very shocking and detestable action; see 1 Samuel 24:6.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Whether David believed the Amalekiteâs story, or not, his anger was equally excited, and the fact that the young man was an Amalekite, was not calculated to calm or check it. That Davidâs temper was hasty, we know from 1 Samuel 25:13, 1 Samuel 25:32-34.
