Commentary on 2 Samuel 12:10

Theological / Devotional

Shall never depart. As David had dealt unto others, so now he himself was to receive. The floodgates of evil that David had opened would engulf his posterity in misery and woe.

Despised me. David’s crime consisted not only in the evil he had done to Uriah but also in the wrong he had committed against God. The Lord had placed David upon his throne and promised that the kingdom would be given to him and his seed forever, yet in spite of all this David had been guilty of despising the One who had been so good to him.
