2 Samuel 12:7-14
7Then NathanH5416 saidH559 toH413 DavidH1732, “YouH859 are that manH376! This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saysH559: ‘IH595 anointedH4886 you kingH4428 overH5921 IsraelH3478, and IH595 delivered youH5337 from the handH3027 of SaulH7586. 8I gaveH5414 your master’sH113 house to youH1004 and your master’sH113 wivesH802 into your armsH2436. I gaveH5414 you the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, and ifH518 that was not enoughH4592, I would have givenH3254 you even more.
9WhyH4069 then have you despisedH959 the commandH1697 of the LORDH3068 by doingH6213 evilH7451 in His sightH5869? You putH5221 UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 to the swordH2719 and tookH3947 his wifeH802 as your ownH802. You have slain himH2026 with the swordH2719 of the AmmonitesH1121H5983. 10Now, thereforeH6258, the swordH2719 will neverH3808H5704H5769 departH5493 from your houseH1004, becauseH6118H3588 you have despised MeH959 and have takenH3947 the wifeH802 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 to beH1961 your ownH802.’
11This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068H2005 saysH559: ‘I will raise upH6965 adversityH7451 against youH5921 from your own houseH1004. Before your very eyesH5869 I will takeH3947 your wivesH802 and give themH5414 to anotherH7453, and he will lieH7901 with themH5973 in broad daylightH802H5869H8121H2063. 12YouH859 have actedH6213 in secretH5643, but IH589 will doH6213 this thingH2088H5048 in broad daylightH8121 beforeH5048 allH3605 IsraelH3478.’”
13Then DavidH1732 saidH559 toH413 NathanH5416, “I have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068.”
“The LORDH3068 has taken awayH5674 your sinH2403,” NathanH5416 repliedH559. “You will notH3808 dieH4191. 14NeverthelessH657, becauseH3588 byH2088 this deedH1697H5006 you have shown utter contemptH5006 forH341 the word of the LORDH3068,1 the sonH1121 bornH3209 to you will surely dieH4191.”
