2 Samuel 12:14 in Context — 2 Samuel 12
12 Car tu as agi en secret; et moi, je ferai cela en présence de tout Israël et à la face du soleil.
13 David dit à Nathan: J’ai péché contre l’Éternel! Et Nathan dit à David: L’Éternel pardonne ton péché, tu ne mourras point.
14 Mais, parce que tu as fait blasphémer les ennemis de l’Éternel, en commettant cette action, le fils qui t’est né mourra.
15 Et Nathan s’en alla dans sa maison. L’Éternel frappa l’enfant que la femme d’Urie avait enfanté à David, et il fut dangereusement malade.
16 David pria Dieu pour l’enfant, et jeûna; et quand il rentra, il passa la nuit couché par terre.
