The dust had begun to die down when David became king. David was persecuted by Saul even to the point of death but he (David) refused to soil his hands to become the king of Israel by his refusal to kill Saul. When David settled in as king, he asked if there was anyone left from the house of Saul. The thought based on ancient tradition was to wipe out relatives of the previous king especially when they are not of the same lineage. But David decided to do things differently.
