Context of 2 Samuel 12:14
12What you did, you did secretly. But I will cause this to happen in the light of day, so that all Israel can see it.” ’ 13Then David said to Nathan, ‘I have sinned against the Lord.’ Nathan replied, ‘The Lord has forgiven your sin. He will not punish you with death. But you did not respect the Lord when you did this bad thing. Because of that, your baby son will certainly die.’ 15Then Nathan went home. After that, the Lord caused the child of Uriah's wife to become very ill. 16David asked the Lord to make his child well again. He lay on the floor of his house all night and he ate no food.
