For when David was up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,

Ver. 11. And when David was up in the morning.] Having prayed the night afore in faith, that God would take away his iniquity, and own him for his servant, for he knew that he had deserved to be discountenanced and rejected for ever. His sin was doubtless pardoned; but in his people - his pride - he must be punished. Gad therefore cometh to him, and saith in effect, as that other prophet did to the wife of Jeroboam, 1Ki 14:6 "I am sent to thee with heavy tidings."
