2 Samuel 12:7–12

⁷Nathan then said to David, “^aYou are the man! Thus says the Lord God of Israel, ‘^bIt is I who anointed you king over Israel and it is I who delivered you from the hand of Saul.

⁸‘I also gave you ^ayour master’s house and your master’s wives into your ¹care, 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!

⁹‘Why ^ahave you despised the word of the Lord by doing evil in His sight? ^bYou have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword, ^chave taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the sons of Ammon.

¹⁰‘Now therefore, ^athe 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.’

¹¹“Thus says the Lord, ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you from your own household; ^aI will even take your wives before your eyes and give them to your companion, and he will lie with your wives in ¹broad daylight.

¹²‘Indeed ^ayou did it secretly, but ^bI will do this thing before all Israel, and ¹under the sun.’ ”
