1 Chronicles 10:14

1Ch 10:14 And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.

Ver. 14. And inquired not of the Lord. ] He did, and yet he did not. See Trapp on " 1Sa 28:6 "

Therefore he slew him. ] He killed him with death, as Revelation 2:23 .

And turned the kingdom unto David. ] Though it were long first, and after many trials and tribulations. Sic petitur caelum; heaven is not to be had, but after much pains and patience.
