”Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will raise up adversity against you from your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun. For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, before the sun.’ ”“
II Samuel 12:11-12 NKJV
a. I will raise up adversity against you from your own house: The Living Bible translates adversityas “rebellion.” God warned David that because he troubled another man’s house, God would allow trouble to come upon David’s house – from within the house.
b. I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor: As David violated another man’s wife, so another will violate his wives. This was fulfilled in 2 Samuel 16:21-22.
i. “Absalom abused his father’s concubines on the house-top: and haply on that same terrace from whence he first looked, liked, and lusted after Bath-sheba.” (Trapp)
c. You did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel: In these judgments, David will reap what he has sown – with interest.
Judgements
”Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.“ Galatians 6:7 NKJV
This is a hard truth! David will repent but he will still reap what he has sown. Unfortunately we are no better and one day we will all stand in judgement!
The question is, will Jesus be your advocate?
Blessings
