Commentators emphasize the verse's final, crucial statement: "the thing that David had done displeased the Lord." While David may have successfully hidden his adultery and murder from the public, nothing is hidden from God's eyes. This serves as a solemn reminder that all actions are seen by a holy God who is not indifferent to sin, even the sins of His chosen people.
