2 Samuel 23:5 - Additional Comments

David disobeyed God, both with Bathsheba (ch 11-12), and with the census (ch 24, 1 Chron 21). Also, his household, his sons, were sinful (Amnon's rape of Tamar - 13:14) and rebellious (Absalom - ch 15). So, God did not consider him as one who "ruled in the fear of God" (verse 3). Yet, he alwasy repented, and always depended on God. Despite David's failings, God would fulfill a promise as to his legacy.
