To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens:
And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries to me? Should there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?

to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, that the truth of the glad tidings might remain with you.

Commentary on John 2 Matthew Henry Commentary
