12:9 Why have you shown contempt for the word of the Lord by doing evil in my 1 sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and you have taken his wife as your own! 2 You have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites.
12:10 So now the sword will never depart from your house. For you have despised me by taking the wife of Uriah the Hittite as your own!’
1 tc So the Qere; the Kethib has “his.”
2 tnHeb “to you for a wife.” This expression also occurs at the end of v. 10.
