2 Samuel 4

Guzik comments that "David was used to seeing severed heads – he carried the head of Goliath around as a trophy for some period of time. But David knew that Saul and his descendants were not his enemies in the same way that Goliath was his enemy.. Even though Ishbosheth was not the LORD’s anointed in the same sense as Saul was, David had thoroughly learned to let God take vengeance.. David would not accept their evil deed, even though it seemed to serve a good purpose – unifying Israel under David’s reign as king." G Campbell
