2 Samuel 12:7-9
International Standard Version
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[a] master’s household.
“‘I placed your former[b] master’s wives right in your arms.
“‘I gave you[c] 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.[d]
“‘You killed him with the sword of the Ammonite army.
