2 Samuel 12:10 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 12:10

Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine
house
During his life, and as appeared in the slaughter of his sons Ammon and Absalom before his death, and of Adonijah quickly after, and in his posterity through their wars with the children of Israel, and other nations:

because thou hast despised me;
his commandments, and that in effect was despising him the lawgiver:

and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife;
which being repeated shows that it was very displeasing to God, and a very heinous crime in his sight.

2 Samuel 12:10 In-Context

8 I gave you his kingdom and his wives; I made you king over Israel and Judah. If this had not been enough, I would have given you twice as much.
9 Why, then, have you disobeyed my commands? Why did you do this evil thing? You had Uriah killed in battle; you let the Ammonites kill him, and then you took his wife!
10 Now, in every generation some of your descendants will die a violent death because you have disobeyed me and have taken Uriah's wife.
11 I swear to you that I will cause someone from your own family to bring trouble on you. You will see it when I take your wives from you and give them to another man; and he will have intercourse with them in broad daylight.
12 You sinned in secret, but I will make this happen in broad daylight for all Israel to see.' "
