*
Nathan said to David , "
You are the man .
Thus says the LORD ,
the God of Israel , `
I anointed you king over Israel ,
and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul ;
*
and I gave you your master '
s house ,
and your master '
s wives into your bosom ,
and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah ;
and if this were too little ,
I would add to you as much more .
*
Why have you despised the word of the LORD ,
to do what is evil in his sight ?
You have smitten Uri '
ah the Hittite with the sword ,
and have taken his wife to be your wife ,
and have slain him with the sword of the Ammonites .
*
Now therefore the sword shall never depart from your house ,
because you have despised me ,
and have taken the wife of Uri '
ah the Hittite to be your wife .'
*
Thus says the LORD , `
Behold ,
I will raise up evil against you out of your own house ;
and I will take your wives before your eyes ,
and give them to your neighbor ,
and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun .
*
For you did it secretly ;
but I will do this thing before all Israel ,
and before the sun .'"
