1: And sentH7971 YahwehH3068 -H0853 NathanH5416 toH0413 David.H1732 And he cameH0935 to himH0413 and saidH0559 twoH8147 menH0582 there wereH1961 in city-H5892 oneH0259 oneH0259 rich,H6223 and oneH0259 poor.H7326

2: The rich [man]H6223 hadH1961 flocksH6629 and herdsH1241 manyH7235 exceedingly.H3966

3: But the poor [man]H7326 [had] notH0369 anything,H3605 exceptH3588 exceptH0518 ewe lamb,H3535 oneH0259 littleH6996 whichH0834 he had boughtH7069 and nourished-H2421 and it grew upH1431 with himH5973 and withH5973 his children-H1121 togetherH3162 of his own food,H6595 it ateH0398 and from his own cup,H3563 drankH8354 and in his bosom,H2436 layH7901 and it wasH1961 like a daughter.H1323

4: And cameH0935 a travelerH1982 to man,H0376 the richH6223 and who refusedH2550 to takeH3947 from his own flockH6629 and from his own herd,H1241 to prepare oneH6213 for the wayfaring manH0732 who had comeH0935 but he tookH3947 -H0853 lamb,H3535 of the manH0376 poorH7326 and prepared itH6213 for the manH0376 who had comeH0935 to him.H0413

5: So was arousedH2734 angerH0639 of DavidH1732 against the man-H0376 greatlyH3966 and he saidH0559 toH0413 Nathan,H5416 [As] lives,H2416 YahwehH3068 surely-H3588 -H1121 shall surely dieH4194 the manH0376 who has doneH6213 this.H2063

6: AndH0853 the for lambH3535 he shall restoreH7999 fourfold,H0706 becauseH6118 thatH0834 he didH6213 -H0853 thing,H1697 thisH2088 andH5921 becauseH0834 noH3808 he had pity.H2550

7: And saidH0559 NathanH5416 toH0413 David,H1732 You [are]H0859 the man.H0376 ThusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of Israel,H3478 IH0595 anointed youH4886 kingH4428 overH5921 Israel,H3478 and IH0595 delivered youH5337 from the handH3027 of Saul-H7586

8: and I gaveH5414 -H0853 house,H1004 of your masterH0113 andH0853 wivesH0802 of your masterH0113 into your keeping,H2436 and gaveH5414 -H0853 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and Judah-H3063 and if [that had been]H0518 too little,H4592 and I would have givenH3254 like themH2007 and like them.H2007

9: WhyH4069 have you despisedH0959 -H0853 the commandmentH1697 of Yahweh,H3068 to doH6213 evilH7451 in His sight?H5869 -H0853 UriahH0223 the HittiteH2850 You have killedH5221 with the sword,H2719 andH0853 his wifeH0802 you have taken [to be]H3947 wife,H0802 and himH0853 have killedH2026 with the swordH2719 of the sonsH1121 of Ammon.H5983

10: Therefore nowH6258 neverH3808 shall departH5493 the swordH2719 from your house-H1004 even toH5704 alwayH5769 becauseH6118 thatH3588 you have despised MeH0959 and have takenH3947 -H0853 the wifeH0802 of UriahH0223 the HittiteH2850 to beH1961 wife.H0802

11: ThusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh:,H3068 beholdH2005 I will raise upH6965 against youH5921 adversityH7451 from your own house,H1004 and I will takeH3947 -H0853 your wivesH0802 before your eyes,H5869 and give [them]H5414 to your neighbor,H7453 and he shall lieH7901 withH5973 your wivesH0802 in the sightH5869 of sunH8121 this.H2063

12: ForH3588 youH0859 did [it]H6213 secretly,H5643 but IH0589 will doH6213 -H0853 thingH1697 thisH2088 beforeH5048 allH3605 Israel,H3478 and beforeH5048 the sun.H8121

13: So saidH0559 DavidH1732 toH0413 Nathan,H5416 I have sinnedH2398 against Yahweh.H3068 And saidH0559 NathanH5416 toH0413 David,H1732 alsoH1571 YahwehH3068 has put awayH5674 your sin-H2403 notH3808 you shall die.H4191

14: However,H0657 becauseH3588 greatH5006 you have given occasion to blaspheme,H5006 -H0853 to the enemiesH0341 of YahwehH3068 by deedH1697 thisH2088 alsoH1571 the childH1121 [who is] bornH3209 surelyH4191 shall die.H4191

15: And departedH1980 NathanH5416 toH0413 his house.H1004 And struckH5062 YahwehH3068 -H0853 the childH3206 thatH0834 boreH3205 wifeH0802 of UriahH0223 to David,H1732 and it became ill.H0605

16: Therefore pleaded withH1245 DavidH1732 -H0853 GodH0430 forH1157 the child-H5288 and fasted,H6684 DavidH1732 fasted,H6685 and went inH0935 and all nightH3885 and lay onH7901 the ground.H0776

17: So arose [and went],H6965 the eldersH2205 of his houseH1004 to himH5921 to raise him upH6965 fromH4480 the ground,H0776 but not,H3808 he wouldH0014 norH3808 did he eatH1254 with themH0854 food.H3899

18: And it came to passH1961 on the day,H3117 seventhH7637 that died.H4191 The childH3206 and were afraidH3372 the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732 to tellH5046 thatH3588 was dead,H4191 the childH3206 forH3588 they said,H0559 indeed,H2009 while wasH1961 the childH3206 alive,H2416 we spokeH1696 to himH0413 and notH3808 he would heedH8085 our voice.H6963 And howH0349 can we tellH0559 himH0413 is dead?H4191 the childH3206 and He may doH6213 some harm.H7451

19: And when sawH7200 DavidH1732 thatH3588 his servantsH5650 were whispering,H3907 and perceivedH0995 DavidH1732 thatH3588 was dead-H4191 the childH3206 therefore saidH0559 DavidH1732 toH0413 his servants,H5650 is dead?H4191 the childH3206 and they said,H0559 He is dead.H4191

20: So aroseH6965 DavidH1732 from the ground,H0776 and washed,H7364 and anointed himselfH5480 and changedH2498 his clothes,H8071 and he went intoH0935 the houseH1004 of Yahweh,H3068 and worshiped.H7812 And he wentH0935 toH0413 his own house-H1004 and when he requested,H7592 and they setH7760 foodH3899 and he ate.H0398

21: And saidH0559 his servantsH5650 to himH0413 what [is]H4100 thingH1697 thisH2088 thatH0834 you have done?H6213 whileH5668 the child,H3206 [while he was] alive-H2416 You fastedH6684 and wept forH1058 but whenH0834 died,H4191 the childH3206 you aroseH6965 and ateH0398 food.H3899

22: And he said,H0559 while wasH5750 the childH3206 alive,H2416 I fastedH6684 and wept-H1058 forH3588 I said,H0559 whoH4310 can tell [whether]H3045 will be gracious to meH2603 YahwehH3068 that may liveH2416 the child?H3206

23: but nowH6258 he is dead,H4191 whyH4100 [is] this [that]H2088 IH0589 should fast?H6684 can IH3201 bring him backH7725 again?H5750 IH0589 shall goH1980 to himH0413 but heH1931 notH3808 shall returnH7725 to me.H0413

24: And comfortedH5162 DavidH1732 -H0853 BathshebaH1339 his wife,H0802 and went inH0935 to herH0413 and layH7901 with herH5973 so she boreH3205 a son,H1121 and he calledH7121 -H0853 his nameH8034 SolomonH8010 now YahwehH3068 loved him.H0157

25: And he sent [word]H7971 by the handH3027 of NathanH5416 the prophet-H5030 so He calledH7121 -H0853 his nameH8034 Jedidiah,H3041 becauseH5668 of Yahweh.H3068

26: And foughtH3898 JoabH3097 against RabbahH7237 of the sonsH1121 of Ammon,H5983 and tookH3920 -H0853 cityH5892 the royal.H4410

27: And sentH7971 JoabH3097 messengersH4397 toH0413 David,H1732 and said,H0559 I have foughtH3898 against Rabbah,H7237 andH1571 have takenH3920 IH0853 of the cityH5892 water [supply].H4325

28: Therefore nowH6258 gather togetherH0622 -H0853 the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 and encampH2583 againstH5921 the city,H5892 and take itH3920 lestH6435 takeH3920 IH0589 -H0853 the city,H5892 and it be calledH7121 my nameH8034 after.H5921

29: So gathered togetherH0622 DavidH1732 -H0853 allH3605 the peopleH5971 and wentH1980 to Rabbah,H7237 and foughtH3898 and took it.H3920

30: And he tookH3947 -H0853 crownH5850 of their kingH4428 fromH5921 his head,H7218 and Its weight [was]H4948 a talentH3603 of goldH2091 and with stones-H0068 preciousH3368 and it was [set]H1961 onH5921 head.H7218 Of DavidH1732 and the spoilH7998 of the cityH5892 he brought outH3318 in abundanceH7235 great.H3966

31: AndH0853 the peopleH5971 who [were]H0834 he brought outH3318 and put [them to work]H7760 with saws,H4050 and picksH2757 iron,H1270 and axesH4037 iron,H1270 and made cross overH5674 themH0853 to the brick works.H4404 SoH3651 he didH6213 to allH3605 the citiesH5892 of the sonsH1121 of Ammon.H5983 And returnedH7725 DavidH1732 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 to Jerusalem.H3389
