Study Note

Nathan's rebuke to David after the Bathsheba-Uriah affair articulates the sin's ultimate theological character: 'why have you despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight?' The verb 'despised' (bazah) indicates not ignorance but contemptuous disregard — David knew the law and knowingly violated it. The charge of 'killing Uriah with the sword of the Ammonites' makes David complicit in a politically engineered murder, not merely guilty of arranging battle dispositions. David's response in Psalm 51 — 'against you, you only, have I sinned' (51:4) — picks up Nathan's framing: the ultimate offense is against God, even when the human harm is concrete and devastating. The passage is foundational for Christian theology of sin as the violation of the divine-human relationship, not merely social rules.

ASV

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.

YLT

`Wherefore hast thou despised the word of Jehovah, to do the evil thing in His eyes? Uriah the Hittite thou hast smitten by the sword, and his wife thou hast taken to thee for a wife, and him thou hast slain by the sword of the Bene-Ammon.

BBE

Why then have you had no respect for the word of the Lord, doing what is evil in his eyes? You have put Uriah the Hittite to death with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife; you have put him to death with the sword of the children of Ammon.
