Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ^g‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul. 8 And I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your arms and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah. And if this were too little, I would add to you as much more. 9 ^hWhy have you despised the word of the Lord, ⁱto do what is evil in his sight? ^jYou have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and ^khave taken his wife to be your wife and have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites. 10 Now therefore the 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 out of your own house. And I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun. 12 For you did it secretly, ^lbut I will do this thing before all Israel and before the sun.’” 13 ^mDavid said to Nathan, ⁿ“I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David, ^o“The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die.
