Hebrews 11:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 11:13

11 By faith ^aSarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and ^bshe bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him ^cfaithful who had promised.

12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as ^adead, were born as many as the ^bstars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

The Heavenly Hope

13 These all died in faith, ^anot having received the ^bpromises, but ^chaving seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and ^dconfessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

14 For those who say such things ^adeclare plainly that they seek a homeland.

15 And truly if they had called to mind ^athat country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return.

16 But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed ^ato be called their God, for He has ^bprepared a city for them.

Hebrews 11:13-16

So what we see is that David had begun to settle in. He was no longer a pilgrim. He was beginning to show the signs of neglect of God. He was beginning to show signs of pride, setting himself up as something great, and it was beginning to affect the decisions that he would make.
