2 Samuel 12:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 And he shall restore the lamb (A)fourfold, because he did this thing, and had no pity thereof.
7 Then Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I (B)anointed thee King over Israel, and delivered thee out of the hand of Saul.
8 And gave thee thy lord’s [a]house, and thy lord’s [b]wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel, and of Judah, and would moreover (if that had been too little) have given thee [c]such and such things.
