2 Samuel 12:7-10

English Standard Version

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 (B)Why have you despised the word of the Lord, ^(C)to do what is evil in his sight? ^(D)You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and ^(E)have 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.’
