* he died.
David at his death had every thing that his heart could wish:
"he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour;"
having gained more renown than any crowned head ever did.
"David," says Dr. Delaney, "was a true believer, a zealous
adorer of God, teacher of His law and worship, and inspirer of
His praise; a glorious example, a perpetual and inexhaustible
fountain of true piety; a consummate and unrivalled hero; a
skilful and successful captain; a steady patriot; a wise
ruler; a faithful, generous, and magnanimous friend; and what
is yet rarer, a no less generous and magnanimous enemy; a true
penitent, a divine musician, a sublime poet, and an inspired
prophet. By birth a peasant, by merit a prince! In youth a
hero, in manhood a monarch, and in age a saint."
* a good old age.

* full of days.
