1
And the LORD
sent
Nathan
unto David
.
And he came
unto him, and said unto him, There were two men
in one
city
;
the one
rich
,
and the other
poor
.
2
The rich
man
had
exceeding
many
flocks
and herds
:
3
But the poor
man
had nothing, save one
little
ewe lamb
,
which he had bought
and nourished up
:
and it grew up
together with him, and with his children;
it did eat
of his own meat
,
and drank
of his own cup
,
and lay
in his bosom
,
and was unto him as a daughter
.
4
And there came
a traveller
unto the rich
man
,
and he spared
to take
of his own flock
and of his own herd
,
to dress
for the wayfaring
man
that was come
unto him; but took
the poor
man
's
lamb
,
and dressed
it for the
man
that was come
to him.
5
And David's
anger
was greatly
kindled
against
the man
;
and he said
to Nathan
,
As
the LORD
liveth
,
the man
that hath done
this
thing
shall
surely
die
:
6
And he shall restore
the lamb
fourfold
,
because
he did
this
thing
, and
because
he had
no
pity
.
7
And Nathan
said
to David
,
Thou
art
the man
.
Thus
saith
the LORD
God
of Israel
,
I anointed
thee king
over
Israel
, and I delivered
thee out of the hand
of Saul
;
8
And I gave
thee thy master's
house
,
and thy master's
wives
into thy bosom
,
and gave
thee the
house
of Israel
and of Judah
;
and if
that had been
too little
,
I would moreover have given
unto thee such
and such things.
9
Wherefore hast thou despised
the commandment
of the LORD
,
to do
evil
in his sight? thou hast killed
Uriah
the Hittite
with the sword
,
and hast taken
his wife
to be
thy wife
,
and hast slain
him
with the sword
of the children
of Ammon
.
10
Now
therefore the sword
shall never
depart
from thine house
;
because
thou hast despised
me, and hast taken
the wife
of Uriah
the Hittite
to be thy wife
.
11
Thus
saith
the LORD
, Behold, I will raise up evil
against
thee out of thine own house
,
and I will take
thy wives
before thine eyes
,
and give
them
unto thy neighbour
,
and he shall lie
with
thy wives
in the sight
of this sun
.
12
For thou didst
it
secretly
:
but I will do
this
thing
before
all
Israel
,
and
before
the sun
.
13
And David
said
unto Nathan
,
I have sinned
against the LORD
.
And Nathan
said
unto David
,
The LORD
also
hath put away
thy sin
;
thou shalt not die
.
14
Howbeit
,
because
by
this
deed
thou hast given
great occasion
to the enemies
of the LORD
to blaspheme
,
the child
also
that is
born
unto thee shall surely
die
.
15
And Nathan
departed
unto his house
.
And the LORD
struck
the child
that Uriah's
wife
bare
unto David
,
and it was very sick
.
16
David
therefore besought
God
for the child
;
and
David
fast
ed,
and went in
,
and lay
all night
upon the earth
.
17
And the elders
of his house
arose
,
and went
to him, to raise him up
from the earth
: but he would
not
, neither did he eat
bread
with them.
18
And it came to pass on the seventh
day
,
that the child
died
.
And the servants
of David
feared
to tell
him
that the child
was dead
:
for they said
,
Behold
, while the child
was yet alive
,
we spake
unto him, and he would not hearken
unto our voice
: how will he then vex
himself
,
if we tell
him
that the child
is dead
?
19
But when
David
saw
that his servants
whispered
,
David
perceived
that the child
was
dead
:
therefore
David
said
unto his servants
,
Is the child
dead
? And they
said
,
He is
dead
.
20
Then David
arose
from the earth
,
and washed
,
and anointed
himself
, and changed his apparel,
and came
into the house
of the LORD
,
and worshipped
:
then he came
to his own house
;
and when he required
,
they set
bread
before him, and he did eat.
21
Then said
his servants
unto him,
What
thing
is
this that thou hast done
? thou didst fast
and weep
for the child
,
while it was
alive
;
but when the child
was dead
,
thou didst rise
and eat
bread
.
22
And he said
,
While the child
was yet alive
,
I fasted
and wept
:
for I said
,
Who
can tell
whether
GOD
will be gracious to me, that the child may live?
23
But
now
he is dead
,
wherefore should I fast
? can
I bring him back
again
? I shall go
to him, but he shall not return to me.
24
And David
comforted
Bathsheba
his wife
,
and went in
unto her, and lay with her: and she bare
a son
, and he called his name
Solomon
:
and the LORD
loved
him.
25
And he sent
by the hand
of Nathan
the prophet
;
and he called
his name
Jedidiah
,
because of the LORD
.
26
And Joab
fought
against Rabbah
of the children
of Ammon
,
and took
the royal
city
.
27
And Joab
sent
messengers
to David
,
and said
,
I have fought
against Rabbah
,
and have taken
the city
of waters
.
28
Now
theref
or
e gather
the rest
of the people
together
,
and encamp
against
the city
,
and take
it: lest I take
the city
,
and it be called
after
my name.
29
And David
gathered
all
the people
together
,
and went
to Rabbah
,
and fought
against it, and took it.
30
And he took
their king's
crown
from off his
head
,
the weight
whereof
was
a talent
of gold
with the precious
stones
:
and it was
set
on David's
head
.
And he brought forth
the spoil
of the city
in great
abundance
.
31
And he brought forth
the people
that
were
therein, and put
them
under saws
,
and under harrows
of iron
,
and under axes
of iron
,
and made them pass
through the brickkiln:
and thus
did
he un
to all
the cities
of the children
of Ammon
.
So David
and all
the people
returned
unto Jerusalem
.
