Wesley: 2Sa 12:13 - I have sinned

How serious this confession was, we may see, Psa. 51:1-19.

Wesley: 2Sa 12:13 - Put away thy sin

That is, so far as concerns thy own life.

Wesley: 2Sa 12:13 - Not die

As by thy own sentence, 2Sa 12:5, thou dost deserve, and may expect to be done by my immediate stroke.

Clarke: 2Sa 12:13 - The Lord - hath put away thy sin

The Lord - hath put away thy sin - Many have supposed that David’ s sin was now actually pardoned, but this is perfectly erroneous; David, as an adulterer, was condemned to death by the law of God; and he had according to that law passed sentence of death upon himself. God alone, whose law that was could revoke that sentence, or dispense with its execution; therefore Nathan, who had charged the guilt home upon his conscience, is authorized to give him the assurance that he should not die a temporal death for it: The Lord hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. This is all that is contained in the assurance given by Nathan: Thou shalt not die that temporal death; thou shalt be preserved alive, that thou mayest have time to repent, turn to God, and find mercy. If the fifty-first Psalm, as is generally supposed, was written on this occasion, then it is evident (as the Psalm must have been written after this interview) that David had not received pardon for his sin from God at the time he composed it; for in it he confesses the crime in order to find mercy

There is something very remarkable in the words of Nathan: The Lord also hath Put Away thy sin; thou shalt not die; גם יהוה העביר חטאתך לא תמות gam Yehovah heebir chattathecha lo thamuth , Also Jehovah Hath Caused thy sin To Pass Over, or transferred thy sin; Thou shalt not die. God has transferred the legal punishment of this sin to the child; He shall die, Thou shalt not die; and this is the very point on which the prophet gives him the most direct information: The child that is born unto thee shall Surely die; מות ימות moth yamuth , dying he shall die - he shall be in a dying state seven days, and then he shall die. So God immediately struck the child, and it was very sick.

Defender: 2Sa 12:13 - sinned against the Lord

All sin is ultimately against the Lord, though many others may be hurt as well. In addition to the murder of Uriah and the tragic consequences in David's own family, he had "given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme" (2Sa 12:14). Nevertheless, his attitude of confession and repentance is the God-ordained route to forgiveness and restoration (1Jo 1:9; Psa 32:1-5)."

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: 2Sa 12:13 - I have sinned against the Lord // The Lord also hath put away thy sin // Thou shalt not die

I have sinned against the Lord I now freely confess that sin which I have hitherto so wickedly smothered; and I have deserved all these and far heavier judgments for it; and I am more troubled for my sin against my sovereign Lord and gracious God, than for the shame and punishment that follow it. How serious and pathetical this confession was, we may see, Ps 51 .

The Lord also hath put away thy sin i.e. so far as concerns thy own life and eternal salvation; both which were forfeited by this sin.

Thou shalt not die as by thy own sentence, 2Sa 12:5 , thou didst deserve, and as thou mightest expect to do by my immediate stroke; though possibly thou mightest elude the law before a human judicature, or there be no superior to execute the law upon thee.

Haydock: 2Sa 12:13 - Sinned // Sin

Sinned. His confession was sincere, and very different from that of Saul, 1 Kings xv. 24. "The expression was the same; but God saw the difference of the heart." (St. Augustine, contra Faust. xxii. 27.) ---

Sin. He has remitted the fault and the eternal punishment, and he has greatly diminished the temporal chastisement, and will not inflict instant death, as he seemed to have threatened, ver. 10. (Calmet) ---

"The speedy remission shewed the greatness of the king's repentance." (St. Ambrose, Apol. 2.)

Gill: 2Sa 12:13 - And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord // and Nathan said unto David // the Lord hath put away thy sin // thou shall not die

And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord,.... Which confession, though short, was a full one, arising from a thorough conviction of the evil of the sin he had been guilty of, accompanied with real brokenness of heart, sincere humiliation, and a sorrow after a godly sort, as the fifty first psalm, that penitential psalm composed upon this occasion shows, Psa 51:1,

and Nathan said unto David; being fully satisfied with the sincerity and genuineness of his repentance, of which he gave proof by words and deeds, and being under the direction and impulse of the Spirit of God:

the Lord hath put away thy sin; would not charge it upon him, impute it to him, or punish him for it, but freely and fully forgive it, cast it behind his back, and into the depth of the sea; cause it to pass from him and never more bring it against him, and which is the Lord's act, and his only, against whom sin is committed:

thou shall not die; though he should die a corporeal death, yet not by the immediate hand of God, or by the sword of justice as a malefactor, a murderer, and adulterer, as he, according to the law, deserved to die; nor should he die a spiritual death, though his grace had been so low, and his corruptions had risen so high; nor an eternal death, the second death, the lost wages of sin.
