2 Samuel 12:9-16 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

9. Why did you disobey me and do such a horrible thing? You murdered Uriah the Hittite by letting the Ammonites kill him, so you could take his wife.

10. “Because you wouldn't obey me and took Uriah's wife for yourself, your family will never live in peace.

11. Someone from your own family will cause you a lot of trouble, and I will take your wives and give them to another man before your very eyes. He will go to bed with them while everyone looks on.

12. What you did was in secret, but I will do this in the open for everyone in Israel to see.”

15. Then Nathan went back home.The Lord made David's young son very sick.

16. So David went without eating to show his sorrow, and he begged God to make the boy well. David would not sleep on his bed, but spent each night lying on the floor.
