2 Samuel3:38
38 And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince, and a great man fallen this day in Israel?
Both for his Illustrious Quality, and for his high Courage and wise Conduct; and especially, now for his great usefulness and serviceableness to me in giving me the intire and peaceable Possession of all Israel. But still observe David's Prudence and Piety, that he doth not commend him for his Vertues and Graces, as men of vendible Consciences and Tongues use to do upon Funeral-occasions; but onely for that kind of worth which was really in him. Compare 2 Sam. 1. 23.
