there fell.
2 S. 12:9• 9¿Por qué pues tuviste en poco la palabra de Jehová, haciendo lo malo delante de sus ojos? A Uría Hetheo heriste á cuchillo, y tomaste por tu mujer á su mujer, y á él mataste con el cuchillo de los hijos de Ammón. (2 S. 12:9)
;
Sal. 51:14• 14Líbrame de homicidios, oh Dios, Dios de mi salud: Cantará mi lengua tu justicia. (Sal. 51:14)
• The story, instead of ending, only is beginning at this point. At the end of this chapter, so full of corruption and shame, we find a little expression, the only thing David had not thought of and the only one he ought to have remembered: "But the thing that David had done was evil in the sight of Jehovah." (“The Fall: 2 Samuel 11” by H.L. Rossier)
