Q&A: What Would Have Happened If They Actually Tried To Kill King David For What He Did To Uriah The Hittite?

Question: What Would Have Happened If They Actually Tried To Kill King David For What He Did To Uriah The Hittite?

Donald Bohanon: It would have been considered a form of direct interference with God’s plan and will and God would have killed them for trying it. He would have probably tried to warn them in some way first that he wasn’t going to tolerate it but if they persisted in trying to kill King David God would have killed them. Either by the hand of men or by angels or from his own hand directly. God will never allow anything, an angel, a demon, or a man, to interfere with his plans or punish someone for an offense God has pardoned them for if it goes against his will.

Isaiah 43:13 King James Version

13 Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?

Romans 8:33-34 King James Version

33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.

34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Romans 9:15-18 King James Version

15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
