2 Samuel 12:7-14
7Nathan then said to David, “1You are the man! Thus says the Lord God of Israel, ‘2It is I who anointed you king over Israel and it is I who delivered you from the hand of Saul.
8I also gave you 3your master’s house and your master’s wives into your 4care, and I gave you the house of Israel and Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have added to you many more things like these!
9Why 5have you despised the word of the Lord by doing evil in His sight? 6You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword, 7have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the sons of Ammon.
10Now therefore, 8the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised Me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.’
11Thus says the Lord, ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you from your own household; 9I will even take your wives before your eyes and give them to your companion, and he will lie with your wives in 10broad daylight.
12Indeed 11you did it secretly, but 12I will do this thing before all Israel, and 13under the sun.’”
13Then David said to Nathan, “14I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David, “The Lord also has 1516taken away your sin; you shall not die.
14However, because by this deed you have 17given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the child also that is born to you shall surely die.”
