At hearing of the death of his son by Bathsheba, David spoke these words concerning his son:
2 Sam 12:23b
I will go to him, but he will not return to me."
David is making in this one little sentence a huge statement. He is acknowledging eternal life, not only for him but for his child. They cannot be together now but will be in eternity.
David laments the following at the cave of Adullam.
“Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!”
Ponder this verse. When we think of Bethlehem, we automatically think of Jesus, born in Bethlehem. Remember what Jesus said to the Samaritan woman at the well?
John 4:10
Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water."
So when David longed for a drink of water from Bethlehem, was he speaking prophetically?
