The paper argues that all this is reflected in the Syrian exegesis of 2 Samuel 11–12 (e.g., David is perceived as a prefiguration of Christ while his repentance is perceived as characteristic of His future era, when the biblical law will be annulled). It also explores how during the Christological controversy in the fifth/sixth centuries, two independent Syriac-speaking churches were established.
