What does 2 Samuel 12:9 mean?

'So why did you ignore what I told you? Why did you do what I said was wrong? You killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword of the Ammonites, and you took his wife for yourself.' 2 Samuel 12:9 - Modern Text Bible

(God confronts David directly: he broke God’s commands, arranged for Uriah’s death, and took Uriah’s wife. The language is blunt and personal.)
