I gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more. 9 Why did you despise the word of the LORD by doing what is evil in his eyes? You struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own.

Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to one who is close to you, and he will lie with your wives in broad daylight. 12 You did it in secret, but I will do this thing in broad daylight before all Israel.’” 2 Sam. 12:11      Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” 2 Sam. 12:13 Nathan replied, “The LORD has taken away your sin.
