 Well, now you think for sure, for sure that David is going to get involved, but he doesn't. The Bible says in verse 31, after this happened, the king arose, tore his garments, lay on the earth, and all his servants who were standing by tore their garments. Big deal, but he doesn't do anything. He allows it to happen. He had committed murder, so he thinks to himself, maybe I can't do anything here, and he lets it pass.
