²⁶ When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him.

⁹ Why did you despise^(A) the word of the Lord by doing what is evil in his eyes? You struck down^(B) Uriah^(C) the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own. You killed^(D) him with the sword of the Ammonites. ¹⁰ Now, therefore, the sword^(E) will never depart from your house, because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.’

¹⁵ After Nathan had gone home, the Lord struck^(A) the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became ill.
