Commentary on 1 Samuel 24:12

Theological / Devotional

The Lord judge. The king could talk only in terms of physical achievement, and when David referred the whole matter to the One who had anointed Saul, the king knew he had to plead guilty. Saul’s response was voluntary, as was that of Judas when he returned the bribe he had so greatly coveted (Matthew 27:3-5). So it will be in the judgment day. When Christ’s innocence and eternal sacrifice are evidenced before the assembled hosts of all ages, every knee will bow and every tongue will acclaim the perfection of His character (Philippians 2:10, 11).
