Why did they say "Gam Esmol Gam Shilshom"?
Malbim (Shmuel II, 5:2): Do not say that Yehudah made you king first ? also before, you led us! 1
How could they say so? They accepted Sha'ul as their king, and did not protest when he sought to kill David! (PF)
What is the significance of "Atah Sir'eh Es Ami"?
'Rashi': About this, David said "Hashem Ro'i Lo Echsar" (Tehilim 24:1). You tell me, you will be shepherd (of Yisrael). Can I be a shepherd?! Hashem is My shepherd! Rather, Hashem is My shepherd, I will not lack ? [then] also I will not cause you to lack. This is like "v'Lo Sechaveh Es Ner Yisrael" (Shmuel II, 21:17) ? David said, I am not Ner Yisrael (rather, Hashem is my lamp) - "Ki Atah Neri Hashem va'Shem Yagi'ah Chashki" (ibid., 22:29).
