This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Sa_11:5 And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I [am] with child.
Ver. 5. And sent and told David.] Chrysostom saith, She went to David, and said, O king, I am undone, I am with child, the fruit of my sin buddeth, I carry an accuser within me, my betrayer is in my womb, my husband will slay me, &c. Whereupon that father inferreth, Videte et admiramini fratres, See here and admire, my brethren, what a mischief there is in sweet sins, what a happiness in freedom from foul offences. {a} Hoc curabat ne lapidaretur, saith Vatablus here. Now all her care was, lest she should be stoned to death, according to the law of God.
{a} Chrysost., in Psa_50:1-23.
