How do we know that David was an honorable man?

Answered in 1 source

David displayed honor by sparing Saul's life despite having the chance to kill him.

David's actions in sparing Saul's life in the cave exemplify his honorable character and trust in God’s providence. Despite having the perfect opportunity to act against Saul, who sought his life, David recognized Saul as the Lord's anointed and refrained from harming him. This act demonstrated his obedience to God’s commandments and a deep understanding of justice, mercy, and divine timing. Even when urged by his men to kill Saul, David's heart smote him, revealing his commitment to righteousness and the honor due to God’s chosen leader, regardless of Saul’s intentions. This incident illustrates that true honor in God’s eyes comes from submission to His will and righteousness.
