David demonstrated his submission to the will of God when he?

David demonstrated his submission to the will of God when he prevented the killing of Saul. In the Old Testament, Saul was the first king of Israel, and David was anointed to be his successor. However, Saul became jealous of David and sought to kill him. On one occasion, David had the opportunity to kill Saul when he was alone and vulnerable, but he chose not to. Instead, David spared Saul's life, saying that he would not harm "the Lord's anointed" (1 Samuel 24:6). David recognized that it was not his place to take matters into his own hands, but to trust in God's plan for his life and for Israel. David's actions demonstrated his submission to God's will, even in difficult circumstances. He chose to trust God's timing and his plan, even when it meant showing mercy to someone who had treated him poorly. This act of obedience and submission to God's will ultimately led to David becoming the king of Israel and a man after God's own heart. While the other options may also be events in David's life, they do not demonstrate his submission to God's will in the same way as his decision to spare Saul's life.
