This is what the Lord God of Israel says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel,f and I rescued you from Saul. 8 I gave your master’s house to you and your master’s wives into your arms,E and I gave you the house of Israel and Judah, and if that was not enough, I would have given you even more. 9 Why then have you despised the Lord’s command by doing what I considerF evil?g You struck down Uriahh the Hethite with the sword and took his wife as your own wife—you murdered him with the Ammonite’s sword.i
