12:14 Nevertheless . . . your child will die: At times, God transfers punishment of fathers to their descendants (Exod 20:5; 34:7; Num 14:18; Deut 5:9; Jer 32:18). Although David repented and was forgiven (2 Sam 12:13), it did not cancel all retribution; it delayed it until a later generation (cp. 1 Kgs 21:27-29).
