2 Samuel 12

1

And the LORDh3068 senth7971h8799 Nathanh5416 unto Davidh1732. And he cameh935h8799 unto him, and saidh559h8799 unto him, There were twoh8147 menh582 in oneh259 cityh5892; the oneh259 richh6223, and the otherh259 poorh7326h8802.

2

The richh6223 man had exceedingh3966 manyh7235h8687 flocksh6629 and herdsh1241:

3

But the poorh7326h8802 man had nothing, save oneh259 littleh6996 ewe lambh3535, which he had boughth7069h8804 and nourished uph2421h8762: and it grew uph1431h8799 togetherh3162 with him, and with his childrenh1121; it did eath398h8799 of his own meath6595, and drankh8354h8799 of his own cuph3563, and layh7901h8799 in his bosomh2436, and was unto him as a daughterh1323. meat: Heb. morsel

4

And there cameh935h8799 a travellerh1982 unto the richh6223 manh376, and he sparedh2550h8799 to takeh3947h8800 of his own flockh6629 and of his own herdh1241, to dressh6213h8800 for the wayfaring manh732h8802 that was comeh935h8802 unto him; but tookh3947h8799 the poorh7326h8802 man'sh376 lambh3535, and dressedh6213h8799 it for the manh376 that was comeh935h8802 to him.

5

And David'sh1732 angerh639 was greatlyh3966 kindledh2734h8799 against the manh376; and he saidh559h8799 to Nathanh5416, As the LORDh3068 livethh2416, the manh376 that hath doneh6213h8802 this thing shall surelyh1121 dieh4194: shall...: or, is worthy to die, or, is a son of death

6

And he shall restoreh7999h8762 the lambh3535 fourfoldh706, becauseh6118 he didh6213h8804 this thingh1697, and becauseh834 he had no pityh2550h8804.

7

And Nathanh5416 saidh559h8799 to Davidh1732, Thou art the manh376. Thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068 Godh430 of Israelh3478, I anointedh4886h8804 thee kingh4428 over Israelh3478, and I deliveredh5337h8689 thee out of the handh3027 of Saulh7586;

8

And I gaveh5414h8799 thee thy master'sh113 househ1004, and thy master'sh113 wivesh802 into thy bosomh2436, and gaveh5414h8799 thee the househ1004 of Israelh3478 and of Judahh3063; and if that had been too littleh4592, I would moreover have givenh3254h8686 unto thee suchh2007 and such thingsh2007.

9

Wherefore hast thou despisedh959h8804 the commandmenth1697 of the LORDh3068, to doh6213h8800 evilh7451 in his sighth5869? thou hast killedh5221h8689 Uriahh223 the Hittiteh2850 with the swordh2719, and hast takenh3947h8804 his wifeh802 to be thy wifeh802, and hast slainh2026h8804 him with the swordh2719 of the childrenh1121 of Ammonh5983.

10

Now therefore the swordh2719 shall neverh5704h5769 departh5493h8799 from thine househ1004; becauseh6118 thou hast despisedh959h8804 me, and hast takenh3947h8799 the wifeh802 of Uriahh223 the Hittiteh2850 to be thy wifeh802.

11

Thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068, Behold, I will raise uph6965h8688 evilh7451 against thee out of thine own househ1004, and I will takeh3947h8804 thy wivesh802 before thine eyesh5869, and giveh5414h8804 them unto thy neighbourh7453, and he shall lieh7901h8804 with thy wivesh802 in the sighth5869 of this sunh8121.

12

For thou didsth6213h8804 it secretlyh5643: but I will doh6213h8799 this thingh1697 before all Israelh3478, and before the sunh8121.

13

And Davidh1732 saidh559h8799 unto Nathanh5416, I have sinnedh2398h8804 against the LORDh3068. And Nathanh5416 saidh559h8799 unto Davidh1732, The LORDh3068 also hath put awayh5674h8689 thy sinh2403; thou shalt not dieh4191h8799.

14

Howbeith657, because by this deedh1697 thou hast givenh5006 great occasionh5006h8763 to the enemiesh341h8802 of the LORDh3068 to blasphemeh5006h8765, the childh1121 also that is bornh3209 unto thee shall surelyh4191h8800 dieh4191h8799.

15

And Nathanh5416 departedh3212h8799 unto his househ1004. And the LORDh3068 struckh5062h8799 the childh3206 that Uriah'sh223 wifeh802 bareh3205h8804 unto Davidh1732, and it was very sickh605h8735.

16

Davidh1732 therefore besoughth1245h8762 Godh430 for the childh5288; and Davidh1732 fastedh6684h8799h6685, and went inh935h8804, and layh7901h8804 all nighth3885h8804 upon the earthh776. fasted: Heb. fasted a fast

17

And the eldersh2205 of his househ1004 aroseh6965h8799, and went to him, to raise him uph6965h8687 from the earthh776: but he wouldh14h8804 not, neither did he eath1262h8804 breadh3899 with them.

18

And it came to pass on the seventhh7637 dayh3117, that the childh3206 diedh4191h8799. And the servantsh5650 of Davidh1732 fearedh3372h8799 to tellh5046h8687 him that the childh3206 was deadh4191h8804: for they saidh559h8804, Behold, while the childh3206 was yet aliveh2416, we spakeh1696h8765 unto him, and he would not hearkenh8085h8804 unto our voiceh6963: how will he thenh6213 vexh7451 himselfh6213h8804, if we tellh559h8799 him that the childh3206 is deadh4191h8804? vex: Heb. do hurt

19

But when Davidh1732 sawh7200h8799 that his servantsh5650 whisperedh3907h8693, Davidh1732 perceivedh995h8799 that the childh3206 was deadh4191h8804: therefore Davidh1732 saidh559h8799 unto his servantsh5650, Is the childh3206 deadh4191h8804? And they saidh559h8799, He is deadh4191h8804.

20

Then Davidh1732 aroseh6965h8799 from the earthh776, and washedh7364h8799, and anointedh5480h8686 himself , and changedh2498h8762 his apparelh8071, and cameh935h8799 into the househ1004 of the LORDh3068, and worshippedh7812h8691: then he cameh935h8799 to his own househ1004; and when he requiredh7592h8799, they seth7760h8799 breadh3899 before him, and he did eath398h8799.

21

Then saidh559h8799 his servantsh5650 unto him, What thingh1697 is this that thou hast doneh6213h8804? thou didst fasth6684h8804 and weeph1058h8799 for the childh3206, while it was aliveh2416; but when the childh3206 was deadh4191h8804, thou didst riseh6965h8804 and eath398h8799 breadh3899.

22

And he saidh559h8799, While the childh3206 was yet aliveh2416, I fastedh6684h8804 and wepth1058h8799: for I saidh559h8804, Who can tellh3045h8802 whether GODh3068 will be gracioush2603h8804h8675h2603h8762 to me, that the childh3206 may liveh2416?

23

But now he is deadh4191h8804, wherefore should I fasth6684h8802? canh3201h8799 I bring him back againh7725h8687? I shall goh1980h8802 to him, but he shall not returnh7725h8799 to me.

24

And Davidh1732 comfortedh5162h8762 Bathshebah1339 his wifeh802, and went inh935h8799 unto her, and layh7901h8799 with her: and she bareh3205h8799 a sonh1121, and he calledh7121h8799 his nameh8034 Solomonh8010: and the LORDh3068 lovedh157h8804 him.

25

And he senth7971h8799 by the handh3027 of Nathanh5416 the propheth5030; and he calledh7121h8799 his nameh8034 Jedidiahh3041, because of the LORDh3068. Jedidiah: that is, Beloved of the LORD

26

And Joabh3097 foughth3898h8735 against Rabbahh7237 of the childrenh1121 of Ammonh5983, and tookh3920h8799 the royalh4410 cityh5892.

27

And Joabh3097 senth7971h8799 messengersh4397 to Davidh1732, and saidh559h8799, I have foughth3898h8738 against Rabbahh7237, and have takenh3920h8804 the cityh5892 of watersh4325.

28

Now therefore gatherh622 the resth3499 of the peopleh5971 togetherh622h8798, and encamph2583h8798 against the cityh5892, and takeh3920h8798 it: lest I takeh3920h8799 the cityh5892, and it be calledh7121h8738 after my nameh8034. it be called...: Heb. my name be called upon it

29

And Davidh1732 gatheredh622 all the peopleh5971 togetherh622h8799, and wenth3212h8799 to Rabbahh7237, and foughth3898h8735 against it, and tookh3920h8799 it.

30

And he tookh3947h8799 their king'sh4428 crownh5850 from off his headh7218, the weighth4948 whereof was a talenth3603 of goldh2091 with the precioush3368 stonesh68: and it was set on David'sh1732 headh7218. And he brought forthh3318h8689 the spoilh7998 of the cityh5892 in greath3966 abundanceh7235h8687. in great...: Heb. very great

31

And he brought forthh3318h8689 the peopleh5971 that were therein, and puth7760h8799 them under sawsh4050, and under harrowsh2757 of ironh1270, and under axesh4037 of ironh1270, and made them passh5674h8689 through the brickkilnh4404: and thus didh6213h8799 he unto all the citiesh5892 of the childrenh1121 of Ammonh5983. So Davidh1732 and all the peopleh5971 returnedh7725h8799 unto Jerusalemh3389.
