5. David was very angry with the rich man and said, “I swear by the living Lord that the man who did this ought to die!
6. For having done such a cruel thing, he must pay back four times as much as he took.”
7. “You are that man,” Nathan said to David. “And this is what the Lord God of Israel says: ‘I made you king of Israel and rescued you from Saul.
8. I gave you his kingdom and his wives; I made you king over Israel and Judah. If this had not been enough, I would have given you twice as much.
9. Why, then, have you disobeyed my commands? Why did you do this evil thing? You had Uriah killed in battle; you let the Ammonites kill him, and then you took his wife!
10. Now, in every generation some of your descendants will die a violent death because you have disobeyed me and have taken Uriah's wife.
11. I swear to you that I will cause someone from your own family to bring trouble on you. You will see it when I take your wives from you and give them to another man; and he will have intercourse with them in broad daylight.
