11This is what Yahweh says: `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 will lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
12For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.`"
13David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against Yahweh." Nathan said to David, "Yahweh also has put away your sin. You will not die.
14However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to Yahweh`s enemies to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you shall surely die."
15Nathan departed to his house. Yahweh struck the child that Uriah`s wife bore to David, and it was very sick.
16David therefore begged God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night on the earth.
17The elders of his house arose, [and stood] beside him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
