2 Samuel 12:7-9

7 Nathan said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ^a‘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 ^bWhy have you despised the word of the Lord, ^cto do what is evil in his sight? ^dYou have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and ^ehave taken his wife to be your wife and have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites.
