Yes Macbeth did hesitate to murder King Duncan, he went through allot of mental turmoil about this decision. In his soliloquy he gave good reasons for not wanting to kill Duncan 1)he is not a bad king 2) he is there in double trust.

In the end Macbeth did not want to kill Duncan but it was Lady Macbeth's persuasion that caused him to commit the act.

In comparison Macbeth had no hesitate in killing Banquo and Lady Macduff.
