In the 12th chapter of 2 Samuel, the prophet Nathan goes to David and tells a story of a rich man who takes a poor man's only lamb, to serve at a feast, because he did not want to part with one of his own. King David becomes angry by this and said the rich man must die.
Nathan warns David that the rich man is him, and that he purposefully killed Urial so he could marry his wife.
The Lord was angry by what he had done and said that He would take David's child and have him killed.
David was distraught by it, and no amount of repentance could undo what he had already done.
King David had another child with Bathsheba, a son, whom they named Solomon. The Lord was pleased with Solomon and the prophet Nathan took him under his wing.
