15 E l’Eterno colpì il bambino che la moglie di Uria avea partorito a Davide, ed esso cadde gravemente ammalato.

2 Samuele 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 Samuele 12:15 In-Context

13 Allora Davide disse a Nathan: "Ho peccato contro l’Eterno". E Nathan rispose a Davide: "E l’Eterno ha perdonato il tuo peccato; tu non morrai.
14 Nondimeno, siccome facendo così tu hai data ai nemici dell’Eterno ampia occasione di bestemmiare, il figliuolo che t’è nato dovrà morire". Nathan se ne tornò a casa sua.
15 E l’Eterno colpì il bambino che la moglie di Uria avea partorito a Davide, ed esso cadde gravemente ammalato.
16 Davide quindi fece supplicazioni a Dio per il bambino, e digiunò; poi venne e passò la notte giacendo per terra.
17 Gli anziani della sua casa insistettero presso di lui perch’egli si levasse da terra; ma egli non volle, e rifiutò di prender cibo con essi.
