Indeed, David had two opportunities to kill Sha'ul. When did he have an opportunity to kill Sha'ul's men? When they were sleeping, and he took Sha'ul's spear and flask (Shmuel I, 26:12). He could have killed a few of the 3,000 men, but then others would waken and kill him, for he is a Rodef! And why would he want to kill them, and not just Sha'ul? They would not kill him if he killed Sha'ul. Even if they held that Sha'ul's sons will inherit his kingship, Yehonason would be the next king, and they knew that he loved David! (PF)
