11 “Thus says Adonai: Behold, I am going to raise up evil against you from your own household, 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.
12 Indeed you have done it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel and under the sun.”
13 Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against Adonai.” Nathan replied to David, “Adonai also has made your sin pass away—you will not die.
14 However, because by this deed you have made the enemies of Adonai greatly blaspheme, so even the child born to you will surely die.”
15 Then Nathan went to his house. Then Adonai struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David and he became very sick.
16 David therefore sought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in and lay all night on the floor.
17 The elders of his household stood beside him in order to get him up from the floor but he was unwilling and would not eat food with them.
