15 Et Nathan s'en alla dans sa maison. L'Eternel frappa l'enfant que la femme d'Urie avait enfanté à David, et il fut dangereusement malade.

2 Samuel 12:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 12:15

And Nathan departed unto his house
His own house, which probably was in the city of Jerusalem, having delivered his message, and brought David to a sense of his sin, and declared to him from the Lord the forgiveness of it; yet for the honour of religion, and the stopping of the mouths of blasphemers, the death of the child is threatened and foretold, and then Nathan took his leave of him, having nothing more from the Lord to say to him:

and the Lord struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David;
for so she was, and not David's wife, when this child was begotten of her; and, as a mark of God's displeasure at the sin of adultery, the child was struck with a sore disease by the immediate hand of God:

and it was very sick;
even unto death, as the event showed.

2 Samuel 12:15 In-Context

13 David dit à Nathan: J'ai péché contre l'Eternel! Et Nathan dit à David: L'Eternel pardonne ton péché, tu ne mourras point.

14 Mais, parce que tu as fait blasphémer les ennemis de l'Eternel, en commettant cette action, le fils qui t'est né mourra.

15 Et Nathan s'en alla dans sa maison. L'Eternel frappa l'enfant que la femme d'Urie avait enfanté à David, et il fut dangereusement malade.

16 David pria Dieu pour l'enfant, et jeûna; et quand il rentra, il passa la nuit couché par terre.

17 Les anciens de sa maison insistèrent auprès de lui pour le faire lever de terre; mais il ne voulut point, et il ne mangea rien avec eux.
