It has reference to the one great crime of David’s life, noted as such in the inspired history itself (1 Kings 15:5), and involving the guilt of both adultery and murder. See 2 Sam. 11 and 12. The significant repetition of the phrase came unto in ver 2 is lost in the English and most other versions.
