II Samuel 12:12 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and in the sight of the sun.

Sun, publicly, 2 Kings 16:22. How abominable soever this conduct of an unnatural son must have been to God, he says, I will do this; because, when he might have prevented it by a more powerful grace, or by the death of the delinquent, he suffered him to carry his infernal project into execution.
