Bible Question: David was confronted with his sin by the prophet Nathan. During this encounter David sentenced himself to be punished fourfold, How was this punishment brought about? |
Bible Answer: Greetings InGodsWill. After Nathan confronted David with his sin by way of a parable. David exclaimed that the perpretrator deserved to die and that the victim should be paid four times the value of the lamb that was killed. What we learn from this encounter is that God, in His mercy, does not give us what our sins deserve as evidenced in Nathan's assurance to David of His forgiveness and "stay of execution" ( 2 Sam 12:13-14) However, there are consequences of sin and God's judgment was to take the life of David's new born son. (The innocent for the guilty?) Through the prophet Nathan, God told David what would happen as a result of his disobedience in 2 Sam 12:10-12. 1. Amnon's rape of Tamar (2 Sam 13:1,20) 2. Absalom's murder of Amnon (2 Sam 13: 21,29) 3. Absalom's rebellion (2 Sam 15:1-18) 4. Absolom's violation of his father's concubines (2 Sam 16:20-23) |
