Tehillim 19:14 says:
גם מזדים, חשוך עבדך-- אל-ימשלו-בי אז איתם
Also from zeidis keep your servant away, let them not rule over me
Who were these grandfathers who wanted to rule over King David, and as King of Israel with an army at his disposal, why was he so afraid of a group of presumably old men?
