Why have you despised the LORD’s word, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hittite with the sword, have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૧૨:૯
તો શા માટે તેં ઈશ્વરની આજ્ઞા તુચ્છ ગણીને તેમની દ્રષ્ટિમાં જે દુશમાર તે કર્યો છે? તેં ઉરિયા હિત્તીને તલવારથી મારી નંખાવ્યો. અને તેની પત્નીને તેં તારી પત્ની બનાવી લીધી. તેં તેને આમ્મોની સૈન્યની તલવારથી મારવાનું કાવતરું કર્યું.
हिन्दी2 शमूएल १२:९
तूने यहोवा की आज्ञा तुच्छ जानकर क्यों वह काम किया, जो उसकी दृष्टि में बुरा है? हित्ती ऊरिय्याह को तूने तलवार से घात किया, और उसकी पत्नी को अपनी कर लिया है, और ऊरिय्याह को अम्मोनियों की तलवार से मरवा डाला है।

In context

7Nathan said to David, “You are the man! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul.

8I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that would have been too little, I would have added to you many more such things.

9Why have you despised the LORD’s word, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hittite with the sword, have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

10Now therefore the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised me and have taken Uriah the Hittite’s wife to be your wife.’

11“This is what the LORD 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.
