2 Samuel 12:7-14

7And NathanH5416 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou art the manH376. ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, and I deliveredH5337 thee outH5921 of the handH3027 of SaulH7586;

8and I gaveH5414 thee thy master’sH113 houseH1004, and thy master’sH113 wivesH802 intoH5414 thy bosomH2436, and gaveH5414 thee the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and of JudahH3063; and ifH518 that had been too littleH4592, I would have addedH3254 unto thee suchH2007 and suchH2007 things.

9Wherefore hast thou despisedH959 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 that whichH5869 is evilH7451 in his sightH5869? thou hast smittenH5221 UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 with the swordH2719, and hast takenH3947 his wifeH802 to be thy wifeH802, and hast slainH2026 him with the swordH2719 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.

10NowH6258 therefore, the swordH2719 shall neverH3808 departH5493 from thine houseH1004; becauseH3588 thou hast despisedH959 meH3947, and hast takenH3947 the wifeH802 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 to be thy wifeH802.

11ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, BeholdH2005, I will raiseH6965 upH6965 evilH7451 againstH5921 thee outH5921 of thine ownH5869 houseH1004, and I will takeH3947 thy wivesH802 beforeH5869 thine eyesH5869, and giveH5414 them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lieH7901 with thy wivesH802 in the sightH5869 of this sunH8121.

12For thou didst it secretly: but I will doH6213 this thingH1697 beforeH5048 allH3605 IsraelH3478, and beforeH5048 the sunH8121.

13And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto NathanH5416, I have sinnedH2398 againstH413 the LORDH3068. And NathanH5416 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, The LORDH3068 also hath putH4191 awayH5674 thy sinH2398; thou shalt notH3808 dieH4191.

14Howbeit, becauseH3588 by this deedH1697 thou hast givenH5006 great occasion to the enemiesH341 of the LORDH3068 to blasphemeH5006, the childH1121 also that is bornH3209 unto thee shall surelyH3588 dieH4191.
