2 Samuel 12:9-11
Holman Christian Standard Bible
9 Why then have you despised the command of the Lord by doing what I consider[a] evil?(A) You struck down Uriah(B) the Hittite with the sword and took his wife as your own wife—you murdered him with the Ammonite’s sword.(C) 10 Now therefore, the sword will never leave your house(D) because you despised Me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own wife.’
11 “This is what the Lord says,(E) ‘I am going to bring disaster on you from your own family: I will take your wives and give them to another[b] before your very eyes, and he will sleep with them publicly.[c]

New International Version
9 Why did you despise(A) the word of the Lord by doing what is evil in his eyes? You struck down(B) Uriah(C) the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own. You killed(D) him with the sword of the Ammonites. 10 Now, therefore, the sword(E) will never depart from your house, because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.’
11 “This is what the Lord says: ‘Out of your own household(F) I am going to bring calamity on you.(G) Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to one who is close to you, and he will sleep with your wives in broad daylight.(H)
