2 Samuele 12:10-12

10 Or dunque la spada non si allontanerà mai dalla tua casa, giacché tu m’hai disprezzato hai preso per tua moglie la moglie di Uria lo Hitteo.

11 Così dice l’Eterno: Ecco, io sto per suscitare contro di te la sciagura dalla tua stessa casa, e prenderò le tue mogli sotto i tuoi occhi per darle a un tuo prossimo, che si giacerà con esse in faccia a questo sole;

12 poiché tu l’hai fatto in segreto; ma io farò questo davanti a tutto Israele e in faccia al sole".

2 Samuele 12:10-12 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO SECOND SAMUEL 12

Nathan is sent to David to charge him with his sin, and convince him of it by a parable, 2Sa 12:1-6; which being accommodated and applied to David's case, brought him to a conviction and acknowledgment of it, and repentance for it, which was forgiven him, 2Sa 12:7-13; though he is told the child begotten in adultery should die, and it was quickly struck with sickness and died; and David's behaviour during its sickness and at its death is recorded, 2Sa 12:14-23; after which Solomon was born to him of the same woman, and had the name of Jedidiah given him by the Lord, which signifies the beloved of the Lord, and as a token of reconciliation, and a confirmation of his sin being forgiven him, 2Sa 12:24,25; and the chapter is concluded with the taking of the city of Rabbah, and the spoil in it, and the usage of the inhabitants of it, 2Sa 12:26-31.
