Was It A Test?

The Lord gives his own reward for doing good and for being loyal, and I [David] refused to kill you [Saul] even when the Lord placed you in my power, for you are the Lord’s anointed one. [I Samuel 26.23]

Why did God place Saul in David's grasp if He did not intend for David to kill him?

Was it a test?

Or, did David blow it?

Did David's refusal to accept God's deliverance from Saul cost Jonathan his life?

Father, I would like to understand more about David's refusal to stop Saul.  I certainly understand David's respect of Your anointing, but I want to be sure it was well-founded.  Help me to understand!
