2 Samuel 12:9

Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife [to be] thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

Wherefore hast thou despised {H959} the commandment {H1697} of the LORD {H3068}, to do {H6213} evil {H7451} in his sight {H5869}? thou hast killed {H5221} Uriah {H223} the Hittite {H2850} with the sword {H2719}, and hast taken {H3947} his wife {H802} to be thy wife {H802}, and hast slain {H2026} him with the sword {H2719} of the children {H1121} of Ammon {H5983}.

"'So why have you shown such contempt for the word of ADONAI and done what I see as evil? You murdered Uriyah the Hitti with the sword and taken his wife as your own wife; you put him to death with the sword of the people of 'Amon.

Why then have you despised the command of the LORD by doing evil in His sight? You put Uriah the Hittite to the sword and took his wife as your own, for you have slain him with the sword of the Ammonites.

Wherefore hast thou despised the word of Jehovah, to do that which is evil in his sight? thou hast smitten Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
