And the LORDH3068 sentH7971 NathanH5416 unto DavidH1732. And he cameH935 unto him, and saidH559 unto him, There were twoH8147 menH582 in oneH259 cityH5892; the oneH259 richH6223, and the otherH259 poorH7326.
The richH6223 man had exceedingH3966 manyH7235 flocksH6629 and herdsH1241:
But the poorH7326 man had nothing, save oneH259 littleH6996 ewe lambH3535, which he had boughtH7069 and nourished upH2421: and it grew upH1431 togetherH3162 with him, and with his childrenH1121; it did eatH398 of his own meatH6595, and drankH8354 of his own cupH3563, and layH7901 in his bosomH2436, and was unto him as a daughterH1323. {meat: Heb. morsel}
And there cameH935 a travellerH1982 unto the richH6223 manH376, and he sparedH2550 to takeH3947 of his own flockH6629 and of his own herdH1241, to dressH6213 for the wayfaring manH732 that was comeH935 unto him; but tookH3947 the poorH7326 man'sH376 lambH3535, and dressedH6213 it for the manH376 that was comeH935 to him.
And David'sH1732 angerH639 was greatlyH3966 kindledH2734 against the manH376; and he saidH559 to NathanH5416, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, the manH376 that hath doneH6213 this thing shall surelyH1121 dieH4194: {shall…: or, is worthy to die, or, is a son of death}
And he shall restoreH7999 the lambH3535 fourfoldH706, becauseH6118 he didH6213 this thingH1697, and becauseH834 he had no pityH2550.
And NathanH5416 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou art the manH376. Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, and I deliveredH5337 thee out of the handH3027 of SaulH7586;
And I gaveH5414 thee thy master'sH113 houseH1004, and thy master'sH113 wivesH802 into thy bosomH2436, and gaveH5414 thee the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and of JudahH3063; and if that had been too littleH4592, I would moreover have givenH3254 unto thee suchH2007 and such thingsH2007.
Wherefore hast thou despisedH959 the commandmentH1697 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 evilH7451 in his sightH5869? thou hast killedH5221 UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 with the swordH2719, and hast takenH3947 his wifeH802 to be thy wifeH802, and hast slainH2026 him with the swordH2719 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
Now therefore the swordH2719 shall neverH5704+H5769 departH5493 from thine houseH1004; becauseH6118 thou hast despisedH959 me, and hast takenH3947 the wifeH802 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 to be thy wifeH802.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will raise upH6965 evilH7451 against thee out of thine own houseH1004, and I will takeH3947 thy wivesH802 before thine eyesH5869, and giveH5414 them unto thy neighbourH7453, and he shall lieH7901 with thy wivesH802 in the sightH5869 of this sunH8121.
For thou didstH6213 it secretlyH5643: but I will doH6213 this thingH1697 before all IsraelH3478, and before the sunH8121.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto NathanH5416, I have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068. And NathanH5416 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, The LORDH3068 also hath put awayH5674 thy sinH2403; thou shalt not dieH4191.
HowbeitH657, because by this deedH1697 thou hast givenH5006 great occasionH5006 to the enemiesH341 of the LORDH3068 to blasphemeH5006, the childH1121 also that is bornH3209 unto thee shall surelyH4191 dieH4191.
And NathanH5416 departedH3212 unto his houseH1004. And the LORDH3068 struckH5062 the childH3206 that Uriah'sH223 wifeH802 bareH3205 unto DavidH1732, and it was very sickH605.
DavidH1732 therefore besoughtH1245 GodH430 for the childH5288; and DavidH1732 fastedH6684+H6685, and went inH935, and layH7901 all nightH3885 upon the earthH776. {fasted: Heb. fasted a fast}
And the eldersH2205 of his houseH1004 aroseH6965, and went to him, to raise him upH6965 from the earthH776: but he wouldH14 not, neither did he eatH1262 breadH3899 with them.
And it came to pass on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that the childH3206 diedH4191. And the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732 fearedH3372 to tellH5046 him that the childH3206 was deadH4191: for they saidH559, Behold, while the childH3206 was yet aliveH2416, we spakeH1696 unto him, and he would not hearkenH8085 unto our voiceH6963: how will he thenH6213 vexH7451 himselfH6213, if we tellH559 him that the childH3206 is deadH4191? {vex: Heb. do hurt}
But when DavidH1732 sawH7200 that his servantsH5650 whisperedH3907, DavidH1732 perceivedH995 that the childH3206 was deadH4191: therefore DavidH1732 saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, Is the childH3206 deadH4191? And they saidH559, He is deadH4191.
Then DavidH1732 aroseH6965 from the earthH776, and washedH7364, and anointedH5480 himself, and changedH2498 his apparelH8071, and cameH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and worshippedH7812: then he cameH935 to his own houseH1004; and when he requiredH7592, they setH7760 breadH3899 before him, and he did eatH398.
Then saidH559 his servantsH5650 unto him, What thingH1697 is this that thou hast doneH6213? thou didst fastH6684 and weepH1058 for the childH3206, while it was aliveH2416; but when the childH3206 was deadH4191, thou didst riseH6965 and eatH398 breadH3899.
And he saidH559, While the childH3206 was yet aliveH2416, I fastedH6684 and weptH1058: for I saidH559, Who can tellH3045 whether GODH3068 will be graciousH2603+H2603 to me, that the childH3206 may liveH2416?
But now he is deadH4191, wherefore should I fastH6684? canH3201 I bring him back againH7725? I shall goH1980 to him, but he shall not returnH7725 to me.
And DavidH1732 comfortedH5162 BathshebaH1339 his wifeH802, and went inH935 unto her, and layH7901 with her: and she bareH3205 a sonH1121, and he calledH7121 his nameH8034 SolomonH8010: and the LORDH3068 lovedH157 him.
And he sentH7971 by the handH3027 of NathanH5416 the prophetH5030; and he calledH7121 his nameH8034 JedidiahH3041, because of the LORDH3068. {Jedidiah: that is, Beloved of the LORD}
And JoabH3097 foughtH3898 against RabbahH7237 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and tookH3920 the royalH4410 cityH5892.
And JoabH3097 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to DavidH1732, and saidH559, I have foughtH3898 against RabbahH7237, and have takenH3920 the cityH5892 of watersH4325.
Now therefore gatherH622 the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 togetherH622, and encampH2583 against the cityH5892, and takeH3920 it: lest I takeH3920 the cityH5892, and it be calledH7121 after my nameH8034. {it be called…: Heb. my name be called upon it}
And DavidH1732 gatheredH622 all the peopleH5971 togetherH622, and wentH3212 to RabbahH7237, and foughtH3898 against it, and tookH3920 it.
And he tookH3947 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 forthH3318 the spoilH7998 of the cityH5892 in greatH3966 abundanceH7235. {in great…: Heb. very great}
And he brought forthH3318 the peopleH5971 that were therein, and putH7760 them under sawsH4050, and under harrowsH2757 of ironH1270, and under axesH4037 of ironH1270, and made them passH5674 through the brickkilnH4404: and thus didH6213 he unto all the citiesH5892 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983. So DavidH1732 and all the peopleH5971 returnedH7725 unto JerusalemH3389.

Now therefore the swordH2719 shall neverH5704+H5769 departH5493 from thine houseH1004; becauseH6118 thou hast despisedH959 me, and hast takenH3947 the wifeH802 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 to be thy wifeH802.
And he causedH5674 his childrenH1121 to pass throughH5674 the fireH784 in the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011: also he observed timesH6049, and used enchantmentsH5172, and used witchcraftH3784, and dealtH6213 with a familiar spiritH178, and with wizardsH3049: he wroughtH6213 muchH7235 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.
And he wroteH3789 in the letterH5612, sayingH559, SetH3051 ye UriahH223 in the forefrontH6440+H4136 of the hottestH2389 battleH4421, and retireH7725 ye from himH310, that he may be smittenH5221, and dieH4191. {hottest: Heb. strong} {from him: Heb. from after him}
And it came to pass, when JoabH3097 observedH8104 the cityH5892, that he assignedH5414 UriahH223 unto a placeH4725 where he knewH3045 that valiantH2428 menH582 were.
And the menH582 of the cityH5892 went outH3318, and foughtH3898 with JoabH3097: and there fellH5307 some of the peopleH5971 of the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732; and UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 diedH4191 also.
Then JoabH3097 sentH7971 and toldH5046 DavidH1732 all the thingsH1697 concerning the warH4421;
And chargedH6680 the messengerH4397, sayingH559, When thou hast made an endH3615 of tellingH1696 the mattersH1697 of the warH4421 unto the kingH4428,
And if so be that the king'sH4428 wrathH2534 ariseH5927, and he sayH559 unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nighH5066 unto the cityH5892 when ye did fightH3898? knewH3045 ye not that they would shootH3384 from the wallH2346?
Who smoteH5221 AbimelechH40 the sonH1121 of JerubbeshethH3380? did not a womanH802 castH7993 a pieceH6400 of a millstoneH7393 upon him from the wallH2346, that he diedH4191 in ThebezH8405? why went ye nighH5066 the wallH2346? then sayH559 thou, Thy servantH5650 UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 is deadH4191 also.
So the messengerH4397 wentH3212, and cameH935 and shewedH5046 DavidH1732 all that JoabH3097 had sentH7971 him for.
And the messengerH4397 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Surely the menH582 prevailedH1396 against us, and came outH3318 unto us into the fieldH7704, and we were upon them even unto the enteringH6607 of the gateH8179.
And the shootersH3384 shotH3384 from off the wallH2346 upon thy servantsH5650; and some of the king'sH4428 servantsH5650 be deadH4191, and thy servantH5650 UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 is deadH4191 also.
Then DavidH1732 saidH559 unto the messengerH4397, Thus shalt thou sayH559 unto JoabH3097, Let not this thingH1697 displeaseH3415+H5869 thee, for the swordH2719 devourethH398 one as well as anotherH2090: make thy battleH4421 more strongH2388 against the cityH5892, and overthrowH2040 it: and encourageH2388 thou him. {displease…: Heb. be evil in thine eyes} {one…: Heb. so and such}
And when the wifeH802 of UriahH223 heardH8085 that UriahH223 her husbandH376 was deadH4191, she mournedH5594 for her husbandH1167.
And when the mourningH60 was pastH5674, DavidH1732 sentH7971 and fetchedH622 her to his houseH1004, and she became his wifeH802, and bareH3205 him a sonH1121. But the thingH1697 that DavidH1732 had doneH6213 displeasedH3415+H5869 the LORDH3068. {displeased: Heb. was evil in the eyes of}
And DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397, and tookH3947 her; and she came inH935 unto him, and he layH7901 with her; for she was purifiedH6942 from her uncleannessH2932: and she returnedH7725 unto her houseH1004. {for she…: or, and when she had purified herself, etc, she returned}
Against thee, thee only, have I sinnedH2398, and doneH6213 this evilH7451 in thy sightH5869: that thou mightest be justifiedH6663 when thou speakestH1696, and be clearH2135 when thou judgestH8199.
And it came to pass in the morningH1242, that DavidH1732 wroteH3789 a letterH5612 to JoabH3097, and sentH7971 it by the handH3027 of UriahH223.
And he wroteH3789 in the letterH5612, sayingH559, SetH3051 ye UriahH223 in the forefrontH6440+H4136 of the hottestH2389 battleH4421, and retireH7725 ye from himH310, that he may be smittenH5221, and dieH4191. {hottest: Heb. strong} {from him: Heb. from after him}
And it came to pass, when JoabH3097 observedH8104 the cityH5892, that he assignedH5414 UriahH223 unto a placeH4725 where he knewH3045 that valiantH2428 menH582 were.
And the menH582 of the cityH5892 went outH3318, and foughtH3898 with JoabH3097: and there fellH5307 some of the peopleH5971 of the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732; and UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 diedH4191 also.
Thou hast setH7896 our iniquitiesH5771 before thee, our secretH5956 sins in the lightH3974 of thy countenanceH6440.
And surelyH389 your bloodH1818 of your livesH5315 will I requireH1875; at the handH3027 of every beastH2416 will I require itH1875, and at the handH3027 of manH120; at the handH3027 of every man'sH376 brotherH251 will I requireH1875 the lifeH5315 of manH120.
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. O LORDH3068, thou hast searchedH2713 me, and knownH3045 me.
Whoso sheddethH8210 man'sH120 bloodH1818, by manH120 shall his bloodH1818 be shedH8210: for in the imageH6754 of GodH430 madeH6213 he manH120.
Thou knowestH3045 my downsittingH3427 and mine uprisingH6965, thou understandestH995 my thoughtH7454 afar offH7350.
Thou shalt not killH7523.
If it doH6213 evilH7451 in my sightH5869, that it obeyH8085 not my voiceH6963, then I will repentH5162 of the goodH2896, wherewith I saidH559 I would benefitH3190 them.
Thou shalt not commit adulteryH5003.
But the soulH5315 that doethH6213 ought presumptuouslyH7311+H3027, whether he be born in the landH249, or a strangerH4480+H1616, the same reproachethH1442 the LORDH3068; and that soulH5315 shall be cut offH3772 from amongH7130 his peopleH5971. {presumptuously: Heb. with an high hand}
Because he hath despisedH959 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and hath brokenH6565 his commandmentH4687, that soulH5315 shall utterlyH3772 be cut offH3772; his iniquityH5771 shall be upon him.
Wherefore then didst thou not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, but didst flyH5860 upon the spoilH7998, and didstH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068?
For rebellionH4805 is as the sinH2403 of witchcraftH7081, and stubbornnessH6484 is as iniquityH205 and idolatryH8655. Because thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, he hath also rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428. {witchcraft: Heb. divination}
Therefore as the fireH784 devourethH398 the stubbleH7179, and the flameH3956+H3852 consumethH7503 the chaffH2842, so their rootH8328 shall be as rottennessH4716, and their blossomH6525 shall go upH5927 as dustH80: because they have cast awayH3988 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and despisedH5006 the wordH565 of the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478. {fire: Heb. tongue of fire}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of JudahH3063, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they have despisedH3988 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068, and have not keptH8104 his commandmentsH2706, and their liesH3577 caused them to errH8582, afterH310 the which their fathersH1 have walkedH1980:
HeG5100 that despisedG114 Moses'G3475 lawG3551 diedG599 withoutG5565 mercyG3628 underG1909 twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 witnessesG3144:
Of how muchG4214 sorerG5501 punishmentG5098, suppose yeG1380, shall he be thought worthyG515, whoG3588 hath trodden under footG2662 the SonG5207 of GodG2316, andG2532 hath countedG2233 the bloodG129 of the covenantG1242, wherewithG3739+G1722 he was sanctifiedG37, an unholy thingG2839, andG2532 hath done despiteG1796 unto the SpiritG4151 of graceG5485?
