 It says, because of this deed, you have given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme. The child also that is born to you shall surely die. What David did was so shameful and so egregious. It caused the enemies of God to blaspheme God. You say, well, what does that mean? Well, to blaspheme means to spurn, to abhor, to despise. And they just said, oh, there's another phony baloney believer in Jehovah.
