Notice that the Lord said that He had done five great things for David ( 2 Samuel 12:8 ), but David had done four sinful things in spite of God’s goodness ( 2 Samuel 12:9 ). He had despised God by disobeying His Word as though he were superior to it. David had seen what had happened to Saul for rejecting God’s word.
Clarke's Commentary. Verse 2 Samuel 12:7. Thou art the man. — What a terrible word! And by it David appears to have been transfixed, and brought into the dust before the messenger of God. THOU ART this son of death, and thou shalt restore this lamb FOURFOLD. It is indulging fancy too much to say David was called, in the course of a just
Verse 13. 2 Samuel 12:13. I.

Chapter 11. What David said of the mournful report of Saul's death may more fitly be applied to the sad story of this chapter, the adultery and murder David was guilty of.-"Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon."
