9. Why, then, have you disobeyed my commands? Why did you do this evil thing? You had Uriah killed in battle; you let the Ammonites kill him, and then you took his wife!
10. Now, in every generation some of your descendants will die a violent death because you have disobeyed me and have taken Uriah's wife.
11. I swear to you that I will cause someone from your own family to bring trouble on you. You will see it when I take your wives from you and give them to another man; and he will have intercourse with them in broad daylight.
12. You sinned in secret, but I will make this happen in broad daylight for all Israel to see.’ ”
13. “I have sinned against the Lord,” David said.Nathan replied, “The Lord forgives you; you will not die.
14. But because you have shown such contempt for the Lord in doing this, your child will die.”
