Commentators see David honestly admitting his personal and familial failures, stating his house is "not so with God." Charles Spurgeon notes that the dying king felt a "sad heartache" reflecting on his sins and the turmoil with his children. This presents a model of mature faith that doesn't hide its flaws but acknowledges them before finding comfort in God's grace.
