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^(A) will never depart from your house, because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.’
