8 I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your keeping, and gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I also would have given you much more!
9 aWhy have you bdespised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in His sight? cYou have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword; you have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the people 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 adversity against you from your own house; and I will atake 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, abut I will do this thing before all Israel, before the sun.’ ”  
13 aSo David said to Nathan, b“I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David, “The Lord also has cput away your sin; you shall not die.  
14 However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord ato blaspheme, the child also who is born to you shall surely die.”  
15 Then Nathan departed to his house. And the aLord struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and it became ill.

17 So the elders of his house arose and went to him, to raise him up from the ground. But he would not, nor did he eat food with them.
