Then Nathan went home. The Lord made the child that Uriah's wife had borne to David become very sick.
“But because by doing this you have treated the Lord with complete contempt, the son you have will die.”
David pleaded with God on behalf of the boy. He fasted, went to his bedroom, and spent the night lying in sackcloth on the ground.
The Lord touched the king and he had leprosy until the day he died. He lived in isolation in a separate house. His son Jotham was in charge of the palace and was the country's actual ruler.
Jereboam never regained his power during Abijah's reign. Eventually the Lord struck him down and he died.
When you turn away from them, they're terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to dust.
Immediately the angel of the Lord struck him down, because he did not give God the glory. He was consumed by worms and died.
Listen! I am the only God! There is no other God except me! I bring death, and I give life; I wound, and I heal. No one can be rescued from my power.
About ten days later the Lord struck Nabal down and he died.
As the Lord lives, the Lord himself will kill him. Either his time will come and he'll die, or he will go into battle and be killed.
