Context of 2 Samuel 12:14

12For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun. 13And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against Yhwh. And Nathan said unto David, Yhwh also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of Yhwh to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die. 15And Nathan departed unto his house. And Yhwh struck the child that Uriah’s wife bare unto David, and it was very sick. 16David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.

Commentaries on 2 Samuel 12:14

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 14Nevertheless … the son born to you will surely die: At times, God allows the consequences of a father’s sin to affect later generations (Exodus 20:5; 34:7; Numbers 14:18; Deuteronomy 5:9; Jeremiah 32:18). Although David repented and God forgave him (2 Samuel 12:13), this forgiveness did not remove all consequences. Instead, the punishment was delayed and carried forward into a later generation (see 1 Kings 21:27–29).Read the comment
