2 Samuel - 12:28 Meaning
“Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
12:26-31 To be thus severe in putting the children of Ammon to slavery was a sign that David's heart was not yet made soft by repentance, at the time when this took place. We shall be most compassionate, kind, and forgiving to others, when we most feel our need of the Lord's forgiving love, and taste the sweetness of it in our own souls.
“And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.”
