12 You did it secretly, but I will make this happen to you openly in the sight of all Israel.”
· David repents but everyone knows

I gave your master’s house to you, and your master’s wives into your arms.

9 Why did you despise the word of the Lord by doing what is evil in his eyes?
You struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own.
You killed him with the sword of the Ammonites.
