2 Samuel 12:24

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 12:24-25

YHWH Demonstrates By Means Of The Birth Of Another Son Through Bathsheba That David Is Still Greatly Loved (2 Samuel 12:24-25 ). David might easily have begun to despair of the future as he remembered how sinful he had been and the dreadful things that he had done. Perhaps this would be the end of his hopes and of his success? But YHWH now graciously gave him two signs that his future in YHWH was secure, the first lay in the birth of another son, who was stated to be ‘the beloved of YHWH’,... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 12:1-31

2 Samuel 12. David’ s Repentance. Capture of Rabbah (J).— The section concerning Nathan ( 2 Samuel 12:1-Ezra : a) is sometimes regarded as a later addition by some one who was anxious to point out and emphasize the moral; but this view is not generally held. Only 2 Samuel 12:10-2 Kings : need be regarded as editorial. The chapter is important because it shows that the primitive ideas as to the morality of Yahweh were very real, though they might be defective in some directions. 2 Samuel... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Samuel 12:24

David comforted Bathsheba; who was now much dejected, both for her former sin, which she truly repented of, as may be gathered from Proverbs 31:1-3, &c., and for the loss of that child which was very dear to her, and which might seem to be the only tie of David’s affection to her; which being now dead, she might think that David would utterly cast her off, and leave her to that shame and punishment which she had deserved. Went in unto her, to wit, into her chamber or bed. The Lord loved... read more

CRITICAL AND EXPOSITORY NOTES 2 Samuel 12:14. “The enemies of the Lord to blaspheme.” “Transgression of God’s command by the king himself must lead the heathen to heap shame and reproach on Israel and its God; and there must therefore be expiation by punishment.” (Erdmann.)“Not only to the heathen, but also to the unbelieving among the Israelites.” (Keil.) The external sufferings of David would be to all such blasphemers a witness to the holiness and justice of God. “David was also to discern... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 12:1-31

Chapter 12David thought that things were just going great until the prophet Nathan came to him.Nathan said to David, There is a man in your kingdom who is very wealthy, had many herds, many flocks many servants: And there lived next to him a very poor man whose only possession was one ewe lamb, and that lamb ate at his table, drank from his cup, slept next to him, it was like a daughter to him, part of the family. [And he loved that ewe lamb, all he had.] And this wealthy man had guests come to... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Samuel 12:1-31

2 Samuel 12:1 . The Lord sent Nathan to David. The substance of the mission, the visitations he foretold, the perfect accomplishment of them, as well from that very day as in future ages, leaves not a vestige of doubt of the divine authority of the prophet. Who but a man of God would have dared to speak as Nathan to an absolute monarch in the zenith of conquest and glory; and to add, The sword shall never depart from thy house? The child of lawless desire died presently; Absalom... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - 2 Samuel 12:14-25

2 Samuel 12:14-25The child also that is born unto thee shall surely die. Great troubles following great transgressionsDavid became a backslider. Men sometimes speak, not of David’s great sins, but of his great sin, as if he were guilty of only one flagrant transgression. Such language is lenient at the expense of truth. A great sin seldom stands altogether alone. It is most frequently found in the midst of kindred company, like a high Alpine peak--a region of desolation and death, surrounded by... read more
