2 Samuel 12:7 - Forerunner Commentary

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.

10 Now therefore, ^athe sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised Me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.’

11 Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will raise up adversity against you from your own house; and I will ^atake your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
