1 | David, Bathsheba's child died on 7th day | Gal 2:21 | Emmaus | 75832 | ||
2 Samuel 12:18 The first child of David and Bathseba, conceived in adultery died on the seventh day before he could be circumcised into the Covenant. This is an interesting detail, but it seems to me that often the little details are significant and are there because they are important. Doe anyone else see this as significant? |

2 | David, Bathsheba's child died on 7th day | Gal 2:21 | Ray | 75833 | ||
Hi Emmaus, I agree with you that every word in the Scriptures is there for a reason. I do not think, however, that the fact that the baby did not live long enough to be circumcized on the eighth day according to the law is the significance here. I'll be interested to see what others think also. I do know that the number seven is one of completion and perfection. The baby lived a full, complete life for its purpose. And David expected to see the baby in heaven as 2 Samuel 13:23 says, "But now he has died; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me." The grace of God is a key element in this situation. Before the child died David fasted and wept, for in 2 Sam 12:22 he says, "Who knows, the *Lord may be gracious to me, that the child may live." Galatians 2:21, "I do not nullify the grace of *God; for if righteousness comes through law, then Christ died needlessly." These are good verses to meditate on. I think they show that we are saved because of God's grace in Christ. From the heart, Ray |
