David's time of rest

Psalm 35: 27 meaning                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            When David's enemies were confused and ashamed (verse 26) his friends are naturally happy. They do this partly out of sympathy, and partly because their own interests are bound up in their leader. If David had been captured by Saul, David's followers would have been put to death or exiled (Saul was hunting David on the mountain). God desired for David's present troubles to stop, and that he enjoys a time of peace. I think he was enduring much stress in his life at this time. All this stress can take a toll on a person's body. God knew this, that is probably why God desired the troubles to stop. God granted this time of rest and peace to him somewhat at Ziglag (1 Samuel 27:4-7), more fully when he came into his kingdom (2 Samuel 5:1-16)
