It is ridiculous to think that we should have to keep that stiff upper lip – when we have been betrayed, molested, unjustly criticised, or injured by a spouse’s infidelity. God let David know how grieved he was over the king’s adultery and murder: God did not pretend not to be hurt. David was a man after God’s own heart (1 Sam. 13:14) and yet God was ruthlessly impartial with David. He was very grieved indeed.
