2 Samuel 12:9-12 NVIPT

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 12:10

The sword shall never depart from thine house; that is, thy crime shall not be expiated by one slaughter, but by many, so that thy punishment shall cease only at thine own death. This sentence was fulfilled in Amnon's murder ( 2 Samuel 13:28 ), who had been encouraged in his crime by his father's example. Upon this followed Absalom's rebellion and death ( 2 Samuel 18:14 ); and finally, when in his last hours David made Solomon his successor, he knew that he was virtually passing sentence... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 12:10

Despisers of God. "Thou hast despised me." In the dreadful sins of which David had been guilty he had treated God with contempt. He had treated as of no account all the kindness of God to him; had disregarded his claims; shown contempt practically for his authority, his precepts, his observance of his conduct, his justice and its penalties, his favour, his voice in the conscience. The charge brought against David may be brought against many who are not guilty of gross and flagrant crimes... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 12:10-12

( THE PALACE .) The penalties of sin. "Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house," etc. 1 . Sin is connected with suffering. The connection is real, intimate, inevitable. Nothing is more clearly manifest or more generally admitted; yet nothing is more practically disregarded. Men commit sin under the delusion that they can do so with impunity. But "they that plough iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same" ( Job 4:8 ; Galatians 6:7 ). 2 . Sin serves... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 12:11

He shall lie with thy wives. Fulfilled for political purposes by Absalom, under the advice of Bathsheba's grandfather ( 2 Samuel 16:22 ). The punishment was thus complete. For the murdered Uriah there was fourfold restitution, according to David's own sentence. First there was Bathsheba's child lately born, then Amnon, thirdly Absalom, and lastly Adonijah. For the adultery there was open disgrace wrought upon his royal dignity "before the sun," in open daylight. As he had brought shame and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Samuel 12:11

See the marginal references. In both the points of David’s crime the retribution was according to his sin. His adultery was punished by Absalom’s outrage, his murder by the bloodshed of domestic fights, which cost the lives of at least three of his favorite sons, Amnon, Absalom, and Adonijah. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Samuel 12:9

2 Samuel 12:9. Thou hast killed Uriah David’s contriving his death was as bad as if he had killed him with his own hand. With the sword of the children of Ammon This was an aggravation of his crime, that he caused him to be slain by the professed enemies of God, who doubtless triumphed in the slaughter of so great a man. Hast taken his wife, &c. To marry her whom he had defiled, and whose husband he had slain, was an affront upon the ordinance of marriage, making that not only to... read more

2 Samuel 12:10. The sword shall never depart from thy house During the residue of thy life. As long as he lived, at times there should be destruction made in his family by the sword, which was awfully fulfilled in the violent deaths of his children, Amnon and Absalom, and, about the time of his death, Adonijah. read more

2 Samuel 12:11-12. I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house Which was notoriously fulfilled in Absalom’s conspiracy against him. I will take thy wives before thine eyes Openly, so that thou shalt know it as certainly as if thou didst see it, and yet shalt not be able to prevent it. For Absalom had a tent spread upon the house-top, and there went in unto them. And give them unto thy neighbour I shall, by my providence, give power over them to one who is very near unto... read more

11:1-20:26 CONFLICTS IN DAVID’S FAMILYDavid takes Bathsheba as wife (11:1-12:31)While the Israelite army was out fighting another battle against Ammon, David, back in Jerusalem, committed a series of sins that brought him sorrow and trouble for the rest of his life. To begin with, he was guilty of sexual immorality with Bathsheba, wife of Uriah, one of David’s top soldiers (11:1-5; cf. 23:39).On discovering that Bathsheba was pregnant, David thought of a plan to cover up his sin. He recalled... read more
