All the people took notice of it, and it pleased them They were satisfied concerning David's integrity, and the sincerity of his sorrow at the death of Abner, and pleased with the honour he had done that great man. Whatsoever the king did pleased the people By this conduct he so ingratiated himself with them that they were disposed to put a kind construction upon all his actions, as wise and well becoming him. For all Israel understood that it was not of the king to slay Abner That he neither ordered it, nor consented to it, nor in any way approved of it; but was heartily grieved for his death.
