7 But Nathan replied to David, |You are the man! This is what the LORD God of Israel says: |'I anointed you king—and you became king over Israel. |'I delivered you from Saul's control. 8 |'I gave you your former master's household. |'I placed your former master's wives right in your arms. |'I gave you Israel and Judah. |'And if this had been too little, I would have added much more than that to you! 9 |'Why did you despise what the LORD has promised by doing what is detestable in his sight? |'You struck down Uriah the Hittite with a battle sword. |'You took his wife to be your own. |'You killed him with the sword of the Ammonite army. 10 |'Therefore the sword will never leave your household, because you have despised me by taking the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.' 2 Samuel 12:7-10, Intl.
