What does 2 Samuel 19:22 mean?

But David said, 'What’s with you sons of Zeruiah? Why are you always looking for trouble? Today isn’t a day for killing anyone in Israel. Don’t you realize I’m king again?' 2 Samuel 19:22 - Modern Text Bible

(David refuses to take revenge, insisting that this is a day for reconciliation, not punishment.)
