And it came to pass, that afterH6256 the yearH8141 was expiredH8666, at the timeH6256 that kingsH4428 go outH3318 to battle, JoabH3097 led forthH5090 the powerH2428 of the armyH6635, and wastedH7843 the countryH776 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and cameH935 and besiegedH6696 RabbahH7237. But DavidH1732 tarriedH3427 at JerusalemH3389. And JoabH3097 smoteH5221 RabbahH7237, and destroyedH2040 it. {after…: Heb. at the return of the year}
And DavidH1732 tookH3947 the crownH5850 of their kingH4428 from off his headH7218, and foundH4672 it to weighH4948 a talentH3603 of goldH2091, and there were preciousH3368 stonesH68 in it; and it was set upon David'sH1732 headH7218: and he broughtH3318 also exceedingH3966 muchH7235 spoilH7998 out of the cityH5892. {to weigh: Heb. the weight of}
And he brought outH3318 the peopleH5971 that were in it, and cutH7787 them with sawsH4050, and with harrowsH2757 of ironH1270, and with axesH4050. Even so dealtH6213 DavidH1732 with all the citiesH5892 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983. And DavidH1732 and all the peopleH5971 returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389.
And it came to pass, after the yearH8141 was expiredH8666, at the timeH6256 when kingsH4428+H4397 go forthH3318 to battle, that DavidH1732 sentH7971 JoabH3097, and his servantsH5650 with him, and all IsraelH3478; and they destroyedH7843 the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and besiegedH6696 RabbahH7237. But DavidH1732 tarried stillH3427 at JerusalemH3389. {after…: Heb. at the return of the year}
And it came to pass in an eveningtideH6153+H6256, that DavidH1732 aroseH6965 from off his bedH4904, and walkedH1980 upon the roofH1406 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004: and from the roofH1406 he sawH7200 a womanH802 washingH7364 herself; and the womanH802 was veryH3966 beautifulH2896 to look uponH4758.
And DavidH1732 sentH7971 and enquiredH1875 after the womanH802. And one saidH559, Is not this BathshebaH1339, the daughterH1323 of EliamH463, the wifeH802 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850?
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}
And the womanH802 conceivedH2029, and sentH7971 and toldH5046 DavidH1732, and saidH559, I am with childH2030.
And DavidH1732 sentH7971 to JoabH3097, saying, SendH7971 me UriahH223 the HittiteH2850. And JoabH3097 sentH7971 UriahH223 to DavidH1732.
And when UriahH223 was comeH935 unto him, DavidH1732 demandedH7592 of him how JoabH3097 didH7965, and how the peopleH5971 didH7965, and how the warH4421 prosperedH7965. {how Joab…: Heb. of the peace of, etc}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to UriahH223, Go downH3381 to thy houseH1004, and washH7364 thy feetH7272. And UriahH223 departed outH3318 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and there followedH310 him a messH4864 of meat from the kingH4428. {followed…: Heb. went out after him}
But UriahH223 sleptH7901 at the doorH6607 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004 with all the servantsH5650 of his lordH113, and went not downH3381 to his houseH1004.
And when they had toldH5046 DavidH1732, sayingH559, UriahH223 went not downH3381 unto his houseH1004, DavidH1732 saidH559 unto UriahH223, CamestH935 thou not from thy journeyH1870? why then didst thou not go downH3381 unto thine houseH1004?
And UriahH223 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, The arkH727, and IsraelH3478, and JudahH3063, abideH3427 in tentsH5521; and my lordH113 JoabH3097, and the servantsH5650 of my lordH113, are encampedH2583 in the openH6440 fieldsH7704; shall IH589 then goH935 into mine houseH1004, to eatH398 and to drinkH8354, and to lieH7901 with my wifeH802? as thou livestH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, I will not doH6213 this thingH1697.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to UriahH223, TarryH3427 here to dayH3117 also, and to morrowH4279 I will let thee departH7971. So UriahH223 abodeH3427 in JerusalemH3389 that dayH3117, and the morrowH4283.
And when DavidH1732 had calledH7121 him, he did eatH398 and drinkH8354 beforeH6440 him; and he made him drunkH7937: and at evenH6153 he went outH3318 to lieH7901 on his bedH4904 with the servantsH5650 of his lordH113, but went not downH3381 to his houseH1004.
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.
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 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, after the yearH8141 was expiredH8666, at the timeH6256 when kingsH4428+H4397 go forthH3318 to battle, that DavidH1732 sentH7971 JoabH3097, and his servantsH5650 with him, and all IsraelH3478; and they destroyedH7843 the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and besiegedH6696 RabbahH7237. But DavidH1732 tarried stillH3427 at JerusalemH3389. {after…: Heb. at the return of the year}
And it came to pass in an eveningtideH6153+H6256, that DavidH1732 aroseH6965 from off his bedH4904, and walkedH1980 upon the roofH1406 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004: and from the roofH1406 he sawH7200 a womanH802 washingH7364 herself; and the womanH802 was veryH3966 beautifulH2896 to look uponH4758.
And DavidH1732 sentH7971 and enquiredH1875 after the womanH802. And one saidH559, Is not this BathshebaH1339, the daughterH1323 of EliamH463, the wifeH802 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850?
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}
And the womanH802 conceivedH2029, and sentH7971 and toldH5046 DavidH1732, and saidH559, I am with childH2030.
And DavidH1732 sentH7971 to JoabH3097, saying, SendH7971 me UriahH223 the HittiteH2850. And JoabH3097 sentH7971 UriahH223 to DavidH1732.
And when UriahH223 was comeH935 unto him, DavidH1732 demandedH7592 of him how JoabH3097 didH7965, and how the peopleH5971 didH7965, and how the warH4421 prosperedH7965. {how Joab…: Heb. of the peace of, etc}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to UriahH223, Go downH3381 to thy houseH1004, and washH7364 thy feetH7272. And UriahH223 departed outH3318 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and there followedH310 him a messH4864 of meat from the kingH4428. {followed…: Heb. went out after him}
But UriahH223 sleptH7901 at the doorH6607 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004 with all the servantsH5650 of his lordH113, and went not downH3381 to his houseH1004.
And when they had toldH5046 DavidH1732, sayingH559, UriahH223 went not downH3381 unto his houseH1004, DavidH1732 saidH559 unto UriahH223, CamestH935 thou not from thy journeyH1870? why then didst thou not go downH3381 unto thine houseH1004?
And UriahH223 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, The arkH727, and IsraelH3478, and JudahH3063, abideH3427 in tentsH5521; and my lordH113 JoabH3097, and the servantsH5650 of my lordH113, are encampedH2583 in the openH6440 fieldsH7704; shall IH589 then goH935 into mine houseH1004, to eatH398 and to drinkH8354, and to lieH7901 with my wifeH802? as thou livestH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, I will not doH6213 this thingH1697.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to UriahH223, TarryH3427 here to dayH3117 also, and to morrowH4279 I will let thee departH7971. So UriahH223 abodeH3427 in JerusalemH3389 that dayH3117, and the morrowH4283.
And when DavidH1732 had calledH7121 him, he did eatH398 and drinkH8354 beforeH6440 him; and he made him drunkH7937: and at evenH6153 he went outH3318 to lieH7901 on his bedH4904 with the servantsH5650 of his lordH113, but went not downH3381 to his houseH1004.
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.
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 it came to pass, after the yearH8141 was expiredH8666, at the timeH6256 when kingsH4428+H4397 go forthH3318 to battle, that DavidH1732 sentH7971 JoabH3097, and his servantsH5650 with him, and all IsraelH3478; and they destroyedH7843 the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and besiegedH6696 RabbahH7237. But DavidH1732 tarried stillH3427 at JerusalemH3389. {after…: Heb. at the return of the year}
And it came to pass in an eveningtideH6153+H6256, that DavidH1732 aroseH6965 from off his bedH4904, and walkedH1980 upon the roofH1406 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004: and from the roofH1406 he sawH7200 a womanH802 washingH7364 herself; and the womanH802 was veryH3966 beautifulH2896 to look uponH4758.
And DavidH1732 sentH7971 and enquiredH1875 after the womanH802. And one saidH559, Is not this BathshebaH1339, the daughterH1323 of EliamH463, the wifeH802 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850?
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}
And the womanH802 conceivedH2029, and sentH7971 and toldH5046 DavidH1732, and saidH559, I am with childH2030.
And DavidH1732 sentH7971 to JoabH3097, saying, SendH7971 me UriahH223 the HittiteH2850. And JoabH3097 sentH7971 UriahH223 to DavidH1732.
And when UriahH223 was comeH935 unto him, DavidH1732 demandedH7592 of him how JoabH3097 didH7965, and how the peopleH5971 didH7965, and how the warH4421 prosperedH7965. {how Joab…: Heb. of the peace of, etc}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to UriahH223, Go downH3381 to thy houseH1004, and washH7364 thy feetH7272. And UriahH223 departed outH3318 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and there followedH310 him a messH4864 of meat from the kingH4428. {followed…: Heb. went out after him}
But UriahH223 sleptH7901 at the doorH6607 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004 with all the servantsH5650 of his lordH113, and went not downH3381 to his houseH1004.
And when they had toldH5046 DavidH1732, sayingH559, UriahH223 went not downH3381 unto his houseH1004, DavidH1732 saidH559 unto UriahH223, CamestH935 thou not from thy journeyH1870? why then didst thou not go downH3381 unto thine houseH1004?
And UriahH223 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, The arkH727, and IsraelH3478, and JudahH3063, abideH3427 in tentsH5521; and my lordH113 JoabH3097, and the servantsH5650 of my lordH113, are encampedH2583 in the openH6440 fieldsH7704; shall IH589 then goH935 into mine houseH1004, to eatH398 and to drinkH8354, and to lieH7901 with my wifeH802? as thou livestH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, I will not doH6213 this thingH1697.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to UriahH223, TarryH3427 here to dayH3117 also, and to morrowH4279 I will let thee departH7971. So UriahH223 abodeH3427 in JerusalemH3389 that dayH3117, and the morrowH4283.
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 JoabH3097 foughtH3898 against RabbahH7237 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and tookH3920 the royalH4410 cityH5892.
And it came to pass, that afterH6256 the yearH8141 was expiredH8666, at the timeH6256 that kingsH4428 go outH3318 to battle, JoabH3097 led forthH5090 the powerH2428 of the armyH6635, and wastedH7843 the countryH776 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and cameH935 and besiegedH6696 RabbahH7237. But DavidH1732 tarriedH3427 at JerusalemH3389. And JoabH3097 smoteH5221 RabbahH7237, and destroyedH2040 it. {after…: Heb. at the return of the year}
And DavidH1732 tookH3947 the crownH5850 of their kingH4428 from off his headH7218, and foundH4672 it to weighH4948 a talentH3603 of goldH2091, and there were preciousH3368 stonesH68 in it; and it was set upon David'sH1732 headH7218: and he broughtH3318 also exceedingH3966 muchH7235 spoilH7998 out of the cityH5892. {to weigh: Heb. the weight of}
And he brought outH3318 the peopleH5971 that were in it, and cutH7787 them with sawsH4050, and with harrowsH2757 of ironH1270, and with axesH4050. Even so dealtH6213 DavidH1732 with all the citiesH5892 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983. And DavidH1732 and all the peopleH5971 returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389.
And it came to pass after thisH310, that there aroseH5975 warH4421 at GezerH1507 with the PhilistinesH6430; at which timeH227 SibbechaiH5444 the HushathiteH2843 slewH5221 SippaiH5598, that was of the childrenH3211 of the giantH7497: and they were subduedH3665. {arose: or, continued: Heb. stood} {Gezer: or, Gob} {the giant: or, Rapha}
And there was warH4421 again with the PhilistinesH6430; and ElhananH445 the sonH1121 of JairH3265 slewH5221 LahmiH3902 the brotherH251 of GoliathH1555 the GittiteH1663, whose spearH2595 staffH6086 was like a weaver'sH707 beamH4500. {Jair: called also, Iaare-ore-gim.2.Sam.21.19}
And yet again there was warH4421 at GathH1661, where was a manH376 of great statureH4060, whose fingersH676 and toesH676 were fourH702 and twentyH6242, sixH8337 on each hand, and sixH8337 on each foot: and he also was the sonH3205 of the giantH7497. {great…: Heb. a man of measure} {the son…: Heb. born to the giants, or, Rapha}
But when he defiedH2778 IsraelH3478, JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of ShimeaH8092 David'sH1732 brotherH251 slewH5221 him. {defied: or, reproached} {Shimea: called Shammah}
TheseH411 were bornH3205 unto the giantH7497 in GathH1661; and they fellH5307 by the handH3027 of DavidH1732, and by the handH3027 of his servantsH5650.
HisG846 eyesG3788 were asG5613 a flameG5395 of fireG4442, andG2532 onG1909 hisG846 headG2776 were manyG4183 crownsG1238; and he hadG2192 a nameG3686 writtenG1125, thatG3739 no manG3762 knewG1492, butG1508 he himselfG846.
