2 Samuel 12
10 Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised Me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.
"The sword shall never depart from your house..."
This is how God declared that he would punish David for the sin of killing Uriah the Hittite in order to take his wife to be his own wife.
But what was this punishment?
Did it mean that David's countrymen would be perpetually at war with its neighbours - So that Israel would be constantly dogged by warfare - Never to know peace for many generations after David due to the iniquity of one person who effectively condemned the rest of his people to such a predicament?
