2 Samuel 12:7-14

7Nathan then said to David, “1You yourself are the man! This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: ‘2It is I who anointed you as king over Israel, and it is I who rescued you from the hand of Saul.

8I also gave you 3your master’s house and put your master’s wives 4into your care, and I gave you the house of Israel and Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have added to you 5many more things like these!

9Why 6have you despised the word of the Lord, by doing evil in His sight? 7You have struck and killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, you 8have taken his wife as your wife, and you have slaughtered him with the sword of the sons of Ammon.

10Now then, 9the sword shall never leave your house, because you have despised Me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.’

11This is what the Lord says: ‘Behold, I am going to raise up evil against you from your own household; 10I will even take your wives before your eyes and give them to your companion, and he will sleep with your wives in 11broad daylight.

12Indeed, 12you did it secretly, but 13I will do this thing before all Israel, and 14in open daylight.’”

13Then David said to Nathan, “15I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David, “The Lord also has 16allowed your sin to pass; you shall not die.

14However, since by this deed you have 17shown utter disrespect for the 18Lord, the child himself who is born to you shall certainly die.”
