Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him,.... His conscience accused him, and he repented of what he had done:

because he had cut off Saul's skirt; which though less than what his servants put him upon, and he might have thoughts of doing, yet was considered by him as a great indignity to his sovereign, and therefore sat uneasy on his mind.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

David’s heart smote him - He thought the action inconsistent with the respect which he owed to the king.
