“And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.”
King James Version (KJV)
12:13 I have sinned - How serious this confession was, we may see, #Psal 51:1 |- 19. Put away thy sin - That is, so far as concerns thy own life. Not die - As by thy own sentence, ver.#5|, thou dost deserve, and may expect to be done by my immediate stroke.
