God’s Word Translation
2 Samuel 12:7-14
7“You are the man!” Nathan told David. “This is what the Lord God of Israel says: I anointed you king over Israel and rescued you from Saul.
8I gave you your master Saul’s house and his wives. I gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if this weren’t enough, I would have given you even more.
9Why did you despise my word by doing what I considered evil? You had Uriah the Hittite killed in battle. You took his wife as your wife. You used the Ammonites to kill him.
10So warfare will never leave your house because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.
11“This is what the Lord says: I will stir up trouble against you within your own household, and before your own eyes I will take your wives and give them to someone close to you. He will go to bed with your wives in broad daylight.
12You did this secretly, but I will make this happen in broad daylight in front of all Israel.”
13Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” Nathan replied, “The Lord has taken away your sin; you will not die.
14But since you have shown total contempt for the Lord by this affair, the son that is born to you must die.”
