I will raise: 2 Samuel 13:1-14, 2 Samuel 13:28, 2 Samuel 13:29, 2 Samuel 15:6, 2 Samuel 15:10
I will take: That is, in the course of my providence I will permit this to be done. Such phrases in Scripture do not mean that God either does or can do evil himself; but only that he permits such evil to be done as he foresaw would be done, and which, had he pleased, he might have prevented. 2 Samuel 16:21, 2 Samuel 16:22, Deuteronomy 28:30, Ezekiel 14:9, Ezekiel 20:25, Ezekiel 20:26, Hosea 4:13, Hosea 4:14

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thus saith the Lord,.... For what he said was not of himself, but under a spirit of prophecy:
behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house: that is, evil persons, who should be guilty of evil things, and that as a chastisement of him for the sins he had committed, and those out of his own family, as Amnon and Absalom:
and I will take thy wives before thine eyes; which is so expressed, because it was done in his lifetime, and he knowing it, but not able to hinder it, though he did not, strictly speaking, see it with his eyes:
and give [them] unto thy neighbour; or friend, meaning his son Absalom, as they were:
and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun; pointing to the sun in the firmament, and which might be then shining in the room where they were: and which is represented by Homer u as seeing all things, "and eyes" are ascribed to it here in the original; the meaning is, that this fact should be done in the daytime, openly and publicly, and was fulfilled, when by the advice of Ahithophel a tent was spread on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel, 2 Samuel 16:22.
u Odyss. 11. ver. 119. & 12. ver. 380.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See the marginal references. In both the points of David’s crime the retribution was according to his sin. His adultery was punished by Absalom’s outrage, his murder by the bloodshed of domestic fights, which cost the lives of at least three of his favorite sons, Amnon, Absalom, and Adonijah.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 12:11. I will take thy wives — That is, In the course of my providence I will permit all this to be done. Had David been faithful, God, by his providence, would have turned all this aside; but now, by his sin, he has made that providence his enemy which before was his friend.
