After God's Own Heart
Commentators clarify that God calling David "a man after my own heart" does not mean David was sinless. Rather, it primarily refers to his public role as a king who, unlike Saul, was committed to fulfilling God's will for the nation. The praise describes the overall direction of his life and his repentant heart, not every individual action.
