sinned against the LORD
2 Samuel 12:13
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” (II Samuel 12:14). Nevertheless, his attitude of confession and repentance is the God-ordained route to forgiveness and restoration (I John 1:9; Psalm 32:1-5).
