2 Samuel 12:7-14
7And NathanH5416 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou art the manH376. ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, and I deliveredH5337 thee out of the handH3027 of SaulH7586; 8and I gaveH5414 thee thy master’sH113 houseH1004, and thy master’sH113 wivesH802 into thy bosomH2436, and gaveH5414 thee the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and of JudahH3063; and if that had been too littleH4592, I would have addedH3254 unto thee such and such things. 9Wherefore hast thou despisedH959 the wordH1697 of Jehovah, to do that which is evilH7451 in his sight? thou hast smitten UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 with the swordH2719, and hast takenH3947 his wifeH802 to be thy wifeH802, and hast slainH2026 him with the swordH2719 of the children of AmmonH5983. 10NowH6258 thereforeH6258 the swordH2719 shall never departH5493 from thy houseH1004, because thou hast despisedH959 me, and hast takenH3947 the wifeH802 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 to beH1961 thy wifeH802. 11ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, Behold, I will raiseH6965 up evilH7451 against thee out of thine ownH5869 houseH1004; and I will takeH3947 thy wivesH802 before thine eyesH5869, and giveH5414 them unto thy neighborH7453, and he shall lieH7901 with thy wivesH802 in the sight of this sunH8121. 12For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thingH1697 before all IsraelH3478, and before the sunH8121. 13And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto NathanH5416, I have sinnedH2398 against Jehovah. And NathanH5416 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Jehovah alsoH1571 hath putH4191 awayH5674 thy sinH2398; thou shalt not dieH4191. 14Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemiesH341 of Jehovah to blaspheme, the child alsoH1571 that is born unto thee shall surely dieH4191.
