2 Samuel 12:23 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 12:23

But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast?
&c.] And pray; it is to no purpose, no end can be thought to be answered by it:

can I bring him back again?
from the state of the dead, bring him to life by fasting, and praying, and weeping; that is not to e expected:

I shall go to him;
to the state of the dead, to the grave, where his body was, or would be; to heaven and eternal happiness, where his soul was, as he comfortably hoped and believed: from whence it appears, that the Old Testament saints did not suppose an annihilation at death; but believed the immortality of the soul, a future state after death of eternal life and bliss:

but he shall not return to me;
in the present mortal state, though at the resurrection they should meet again.

2 Samuel 12:23 In-Context

21 Seus conselheiros lhe perguntaram: “Por que ages assim? Enquanto a criança estava viva, jejuaste e choraste; mas, agora que a criança está morta, te levantas e comes!”
22 Ele respondeu: “Enquanto a criança ainda estava viva, jejuei e chorei. Eu pensava: Quem sabe? Talvez o SENHOR tenha misericórdia de mim e deixe a criança viver.
23 Mas agora que ela morreu, por que deveria jejuar? Poderia eu trazê-la de volta à vida? Eu irei até ela, mas ela não voltará para mim”.
24 Depois Davi consolou sua mulher Bate-Seba e deitou-se com ela, e ela teve um menino, a quem Davi deu o nome de Salomão. O SENHOR o amou
25 e enviou o profeta Natã com uma mensagem a Davi. E Natã deu ao menino o nome de Jedidias.
