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.

And it came to pass afterH310 this, that AbsalomH53 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 had a fairH3303 sisterH269, whose nameH8034 was TamarH8559; and AmnonH550 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 lovedH157 her.
And AmnonH550 was so vexedH3334, that he fell sickH2470 for his sisterH269 TamarH8559; for she was a virginH1330; and AmnonH550 thoughtH5869 it hardH6381 for him to doH6213 any thingH3972 to her. {Amnon thought…: Heb. it was marvellous, or, hidden in the eyes of Amnon}
But AmnonH550 had a friendH7453, whose nameH8034 was JonadabH3122, the sonH1121 of ShimeahH8093 David'sH1732 brotherH251: and JonadabH3122 was a veryH3966 subtilH2450 manH376.
And he saidH559 unto him, Why art thou, being the king'sH4428 sonH1121, leanH1800 from dayH1242 to dayH1242? wilt thou not tellH5046 me? And AmnonH550 saidH559 unto him, I loveH157 TamarH8559, my brotherH251 Absalom'sH53 sisterH269. {lean: Heb. thin} {from day…: Heb. morning by morning}
And JonadabH3082 saidH559 unto him, Lay thee downH7901 on thy bedH4904, and make thyself sickH2470: and when thy fatherH1 comethH935 to seeH7200 thee, sayH559 unto him, I pray thee, let my sisterH269 TamarH8559 comeH935, and giveH1262 me meatH3899, and dressH6213 the meatH1279 in my sightH5869, that I may seeH7200 it, and eatH398 it at her handH3027.
So AmnonH550 lay downH7901, and made himself sickH2470: and when the kingH4428 was comeH935 to seeH7200 him, AmnonH550 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, I pray thee, let TamarH8559 my sisterH269 comeH935, and makeH3823 me a coupleH8147 of cakesH3834 in my sightH5869, that I may eatH1262 at her handH3027.
Then DavidH1732 sentH7971 homeH1004 to TamarH8559, sayingH559, GoH3212 now to thy brotherH251 Amnon'sH550 houseH1004, and dressH6213 him meatH1279.
So TamarH8559 wentH3212 to her brotherH251 Amnon'sH550 houseH1004; and he was laid downH7901. And she tookH3947 flourH1217, and kneadedH3888 it, and made cakesH3823 in his sightH5869, and did bakeH1310 the cakesH3834. {flour: or, paste}
And she tookH3947 a panH4958, and poured them outH3332 beforeH6440 him; but he refusedH3985 to eatH398. And AmnonH550 saidH559, Have outH3318 all menH376 from me. And they went outH3318 every manH376 from him.
And AmnonH550 saidH559 unto TamarH8559, BringH935 the meatH1279 into the chamberH2315, that I may eatH1262 of thine handH3027. And TamarH8559 tookH3947 the cakesH3834 which she had madeH6213, and broughtH935 them into the chamberH2315 to AmnonH550 her brotherH251.
And when she had broughtH5066 them unto him to eatH398, he took holdH2388 of her, and saidH559 unto her, ComeH935 lieH7901 with me, my sisterH269.
And she answeredH559 him, Nay, my brotherH251, do not forceH6031 me; for no such thing oughtH3651 to be doneH6213 in IsraelH3478: doH6213 not thou this follyH5039. {force…: Heb. humble me} {no such…: Heb. it ought not so to be done}
And I, whither shall I cause my shameH2781 to goH3212? and as for thee, thou shalt be as oneH259 of the foolsH5036 in IsraelH3478. Now therefore, I pray thee, speakH1696 unto the kingH4428; for he will not withholdH4513 me from thee.
Howbeit he wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 unto her voiceH6963: but, being strongerH2388 than she, forcedH6031 her, and layH7901 with her.
And AhithophelH302 saidH559 unto AbsalomH53, Go inH935 unto thy father'sH1 concubinesH6370, which he hath leftH3240 to keepH8104 the houseH1004; and all IsraelH3478 shall hearH8085 that thou art abhorredH887 of thy fatherH1: then shall the handsH3027 of all that are with thee be strongH2388.
Now AbsalomH53 had commandedH6680 his servantsH5288, sayingH559, MarkH7200 ye now when Amnon'sH550 heartH3820 is merryH2896 with wineH3196, and when I sayH559 unto you, SmiteH5221 AmnonH550; then killH4191 him, fearH3372 not: have not I commandedH6680 you? be courageousH2388, and be valiantH1121+H2428. {have…: or, will you not, since I have commanded you?} {valiant: Heb. sons of valour}
So they spreadH5186 AbsalomH53 a tentH168 upon the top of the houseH1406; and AbsalomH53 went inH935 unto his father'sH1 concubinesH6370 in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478.
And the servantsH5288 of AbsalomH53 didH6213 unto AmnonH550 as AbsalomH53 had commandedH6680. Then all the king'sH4428 sonsH1121 aroseH6965, and every manH376 gat him upH7392 upon his muleH6505, and fledH5127. {gat…: Heb. rode}
Thou shalt betrothH781 a wifeH802, and anotherH312 manH376 shall lieH7901+H7693 with her: thou shalt buildH1129 an houseH1004, and thou shalt not dwellH3427 therein: thou shalt plantH5193 a vineyardH3754, and shalt not gather the grapesH2490 thereof. {gather…: Heb. profane, or, use it as common meat}
And on this mannerH1697 didH6213 AbsalomH53 to all IsraelH3478 that cameH935 to the kingH4428 for judgmentH4941: so AbsalomH53 stoleH1589 the heartsH3820 of the menH582 of IsraelH3478.
And if the prophetH5030 be deceivedH6601 when he hath spokenH1696 a thingH1697, I the LORDH3068 have deceivedH6601 that prophetH5030, and I will stretch outH5186 my handH3027 upon him, and will destroyH8045 him from the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.
But AbsalomH53 sentH7971 spiesH7270 throughout all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, As soon as ye hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, then ye shall sayH559, AbsalomH53 reignethH4427 in HebronH2275.
Wherefore I gaveH5414 them also statutesH2706 that were not goodH2896, and judgmentsH4941 whereby they should not liveH2421;
And I pollutedH2930 them in their own giftsH4979, in that they caused to pass throughH5674 the fire all that openethH6363 the wombH7356, that I might make them desolateH8074, to the end that they might knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
They sacrificeH2076 upon the topsH7218 of the mountainsH2022, and burn incenseH6999 upon the hillsH1389, under oaksH437 and poplarsH3839 and elmsH424, because the shadowH6738 thereof is goodH2896: therefore your daughtersH1323 shall commit whoredomH2181, and your spousesH3618 shall commit adulteryH5003.
I will not punishH6485 your daughtersH1323 when they commit whoredomH2181, nor your spousesH3618 when they commit adulteryH5003: for themselves are separatedH6504 with whoresH2181, and they sacrificeH2076 with harlotsH6948: therefore the peopleH5971 that doth not understandH995 shall fallH3832. {I will not: or, Shall I not} {fall: or, be punished}
