2 Samuel 12:11 meaning and explanation
This is what the LORD says: ‘I will raise up adversity against you from your own house. Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to another, and he will lie with them in broad daylight.
2 Samuel 12:11, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Nathan speaks these words to David after the prophet's parable and David's confession of sin with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah. The judgment comes from within David's own house, and the phrase points forward to Absalom's rebellion, when David's son publicly took his father's wives, as 2 Samuel 16 records.
