一﹑本週經文Scriptures: 撒母耳記下12:10-12、13:21、13:12 2 Samuel
12:10現在刀劍必永不離開你的家，因你藐視我，娶了赫人烏利亞的妻子為妻。』11耶和華如此說：『看哪，我必從你家中興起災禍攻擊你；我必在你眼前把你的妃嬪賜給你身邊的人，他要在光天化日下與你的妃嬪同寢。12你在暗中做那事，我卻要在以色列眾人面前，在日光之下做這事。
13:21「大衛王聽見這一切的事，就非常憤怒。」
13:12「以色列中不可以這樣做，你不要做這醜事！」
10 Now, therefore, the sword will never depart from your house, because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own. 11 “This is what the Lord says: ‘Out of your own household I am going to bring calamity on you. Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to one who is close to you, and he will sleep with your wives in broad daylight. 12 You did it in secret, but I will do this thing in broad daylight before all Israel.’”
13: 21 When King David heard all this, he was furious.
13:12 Such a thing should not be done in Israel! Don’t do this wicked thing.
