2 Samuel 12:7 - John Wesley's Notes

2 Samuel 12:7

5 So David’s anger was greatly aroused against the man, and he said to Nathan, “As the Lord lives, the man who has done this¹ shall surely die!

6 And he shall restore ^afourfold for the lamb, because he did this thing and because he had no pity.”

7 Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘I ^aanointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul.

8 I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your keeping, and gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I also would have given you much more!

9 ^aWhy have you ^bdespised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in His sight? ^cYou have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword; you have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the people of Ammon.
