I will take thy wives<\/em> ] See ch. 2Sa 16:21-22<\/span>. “Having become the man of blood, of blood he was to drink deep; and having become the man of lust, by that same baneful passion in others was he himself to be scourged for ever.” Blunt’s Undesigned Coincidences<\/em>, p. 134.<\/p>\n See the marginal references. In both the points of Davids crime the retribution was according to his sin. His adultery was punished by Absaloms outrage, his murder by the bloodshed of domestic fights, which cost the lives of at least three of his favorite sons, Amnon, Absalom, and Adonijah.<\/P><\/p>\n Verse 11<\/span>. I will take thy wives<\/B><\/I>] That is, In the course of my providence I will permit<\/I> all this to be done. Had David been faithful, God, by his providence, would have turned all this aside; but now, by his sin, he has made that providence his enemy which before was his friend.<\/P> <\/p>\n I will raise up evil, <\/B>to wit, the evil of punishment. <\/P> Out of thine own house; <\/B>from thy own children and family. <\/P> Before thine eyes, <\/B>i. e. openly, so as thou shalt know it as certainly as if thou didst see it, and yet not be able to hinder it. <\/P> Give them, <\/B>i.e. I shall by my providence give him power over them, which I know he will abuse; and I shall not restrain him from so doing, either by my grace or providence. <\/P> Unto thy neighbour; <\/B>to one who is very near to thee, even thy beloved son Absalom. But God expresseth this here darkly and doubtfully, that the accomplishment of it might not be hindered. <\/P> In the sight of the sun; <\/B>in the open day, and in a public place. The accomplishment hereof, see 2Sa 16:22<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n 11. I will raise up evil againstthee out of thine own house,<\/B> &c.The prophet speaks of Godthreatening to do what He only permitted to be done. The fact is,that David’s loss of character by the discovery of his crimes,tended, in the natural course of things, to diminish the respect ofhis family, to weaken the authority of his government, and toencourage the prevalence of many disorders throughout his kingdom.<\/P><\/p>\n Thus saith the Lord<\/strong>,…. For what he said was not of himself, but under a spirit of prophecy:<\/p>\n behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house<\/strong>: that is, evil persons, who should be guilty of evil things, and that as a chastisement of him for the sins he had committed, and those out of his own family, as Amnon and Absalom:<\/p>\n and I will take thy wives before thine eyes<\/strong>; which is so expressed, because it was done in his lifetime, and he knowing it, but not able to hinder it, though he did not, strictly speaking, see it with his eyes:<\/p>\n and give [them] unto thy neighbour<\/strong>; or friend, meaning his son Absalom, as they were:<\/p>\n and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun<\/strong>; pointing to the sun in the firmament, and which might be then shining in the room where they were: and which is represented by Homer u as seeing all things, “and eyes” are ascribed to it here in the original; the meaning is, that this fact should be done in the daytime, openly and publicly, and was fulfilled, when by the advice of Ahithophel a tent was spread on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel, 2Sa 16:22<\/span>.<\/p>\n u Odyss. 11. ver. 119. & 12. ver. 380.<\/p>\n 11<\/strong>. <\/strong> Evil against thee out of thine own house <\/strong> This was realized especially in Absalom’s rebellion. <\/p>\n Take thy wives <\/strong> See how this was fulfilled in 2Sa 16:22<\/span>. <\/p>\n Thy neighbour <\/strong> Absalom, who was also his son. 2Sa 3:3<\/span>. But though a son, he became so bitterly alienated from his father by rebellion as to be significantly called neighbour.<\/p>\n 2Sa 12:11 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give [them] unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.<\/p>\n Ver. 11. Behold, I will raise up evil against thee, &c.<\/strong> ] God loveth to retaliate, as were easy to exemplify; take one instance for all. Valentinian the Emperor was slain in Mars’ field at Rome by the instigation of Maximus, whose wife he had defiled. This Maximus thereupon steppeth into the imperial throne, and first ravisheth and then marrieth Eudoxia, late wife to Valentinian. She, thus married, secretly sent for Genserieus, king of Vandals, who seized upon Italy, to the ruin of the Roman empire. Now God hath a holy hand in ordering all these disorders of the world to his own glory and the good of his people.<\/p>\n Behold. Figure of speech Asterismos. App-6. <\/p>\n evil. Hebrew. ra’a.

Disgraced by one son (2Sa 13:14), banished by another (2Sa 15:19), revolted against by a third (1Ki 2), bearded by his servant, betrayed by his friends, deserted by his People, bereaved of his children. <\/p>\n I will raise: 2Sa 13:1-14, 2Sa 13:28, 2Sa 13:29, 2Sa 15:6, 2Sa 15:10 <\/p>\n I will take: That is, in the course of my providence I will permit this to be done. Such phrases in Scripture do not mean that God either does or can do evil himself; but only that he permits such evil to be done as he foresaw would be done, and which, had he pleased, he might have prevented. 2Sa 16:21, 2Sa 16:22, Deu 28:30, Eze 14:9, Eze 20:25, Eze 20:26, Hos 4:13, Hos 4:14 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Gen 20:9 – a great Gen 30:4 – to wife 2Sa 12:8 – thy master’s wives 2Sa 13:14 – forced her 2Sa 15:16 – ten women 2Sa 15:25 – Carry back 2Sa 16:11 – Behold 2Sa 24:1 – moved 1Ki 21:19 – In the place Job 20:14 – his meat Job 31:10 – and let Job 34:26 – in Psa 71:20 – which<\/p>\n 2Sa 12:11-12. I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house Which was notoriously fulfilled in Absaloms conspiracy against him. I will take thy wives before thine eyes Openly, so that thou shalt know it as certainly as if thou didst see it, and yet shalt not be able to prevent it. For Absalom had a tent spread upon the house-top, and there went in unto them. And give them unto thy neighbour I shall, by my providence, give power over them to one who is very near unto thee. But God expresseth this darkly, that the accomplishment of it might not be hindered. I will do this thing before all Israel It was made notorious to all, that David fled in haste from his son, and left his wives and concubines behind him. Whoever, says Dr. Delaney, considers the predictions of divine vengeance now denounced against David, must surely find them to be very extraordinary. His family to continue beyond any other regal race in the known world, and yet the sword to continue as long never to depart from it! A king, the greatest of his time! his dominion thoroughly established, and his enemies under his feet: highly honoured and beloved at home, and as highly awful to all the neighbouring nations! Such a king threatened to have his wives publicly prostituted before the face of all his people! And, what is yet stranger, more shocking, and more incredible, by one of his own race! and, as a sure proof of this, the darling offspring of his guilt to perish quickly, before his eyes! He alone who fills futurity could foresee this. He alone who sways the world, and knows what evil appetites and dispositions, unrestrained, will attempt and perpetrate, could pronounce it.<\/p>\n 12:11 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give [them] unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this {f} sun.<\/p>\n (f) Meaning openly, at noon.<\/p>\n Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give [them] unto thy neighbor, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. 11.
