2 Samuel 12:13 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

I have sinned — How serious this confession was, we may see, Psalms 51:1-19. Put away thy sin — That is, so far as concerns thy own life. Not die — As by thy own sentence, 2 Samuel 12:5, thou dost deserve, and may expect to be done by my immediate stroke.

2 Samuel 12:13

13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
