| [1]And the LORDH3068 sentH7971[H8799] NathanH5416 unto DavidH1732. And he cameH935[H8799] unto him, and saidH559[H8799] unto him, There were twoH8147 menH582 in oneH259 cityH5892; the oneH259 richH6223, and the otherH259 poorH7326.[H8802] |
[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 richH6223 man had exceedingH3966 manyH7235[H8687] flocksH6629 and herdsH1241: |
[2]The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds: |
| [3]But the poorH7326[H8802] man had nothing, save oneH259 littleH6996 ewe lambH3535, which he had boughtH7069[H8804] and nourished upH2421[H8762]: and it grew upH1431[H8799] togetherH3162 with him, and with his childrenH1121; it did eatH398[H8799] of his own meatH6595, and drankH8354[H8799] of his own cupH3563, and layH7901[H8799] in his bosomH2436, and was unto him as a daughterH1323. |
[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 cameH935[H8799] a travellerH1982 unto the richH6223 manH376, and he sparedH2550[H8799] to takeH3947[H8800] of his own flockH6629 and of his own herdH1241, to dressH6213[H8800] for the wayfaring manH732[H8802] that was comeH935[H8802] unto him; but tookH3947[H8799] the poorH7326[H8802] man'sH376 lambH3535, and dressedH6213[H8799] it for the manH376 that was comeH935 to himH8802. |
[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'sH1732 angerH639 was greatlyH3966 kindledH2734[H8799] against the manH376; and he saidH559[H8799] to NathanH5416, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, the manH376 that hath doneH6213[H8802] this thing shall surelyH1121 dieH4194: |
[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 restoreH7999[H8762] the lambH3535 fourfoldH706, becauseH6118 he didH6213[H8804] this thingH1697, and becauseH834 he had no pityH2550.[H8804] |
[6]And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity. |
| [7]And NathanH5416 saidH559[H8799] to DavidH1732, Thou art the manH376. Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I anointedH4886[H8804] thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, and I deliveredH5337[H8689] thee out of the handH3027 of SaulH7586; |
[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 gaveH5414[H8799] thee thy master'sH113 houseH1004, and thy master'sH113 wivesH802 into thy bosomH2436, and gaveH5414[H8799] thee the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and of JudahH3063; and if that had been too littleH4592, I would moreover have givenH3254[H8686] unto thee suchH2007 and such thingsH2007. |
[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 despisedH959[H8804] the commandmentH1697 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213[H8800] evilH7451 in his sightH5869? thou hast killedH5221[H8689] UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 with the swordH2719, and hast takenH3947[H8804] his wifeH802 to be thy wifeH802, and hast slainH2026[H8804] him with the swordH2719 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983. |
[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 swordH2719 shall neverH5704[H5769] departH5493[H8799] from thine houseH1004; becauseH6118 thou hast despisedH959[H8804] me, and hast takenH3947[H8799] the wifeH802 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 to be thy wifeH802. |
[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 saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, Behold, I will raise upH6965[H8688] evilH7451 against thee out of thine own houseH1004, and I will takeH3947[H8804] thy wivesH802 before thine eyesH5869, and giveH5414[H8804] them unto thy neighbourH7453, and he shall lieH7901[H8804] with thy wivesH802 in the sightH5869 of this sunH8121. |
[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 didstH6213[H8804] it secretlyH5643: but I will doH6213[H8799] this thingH1697 before all IsraelH3478, and before the sunH8121. |
[12]For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun. |
| [13]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] unto NathanH5416, I have sinnedH2398[H8804] against the LORDH3068. And NathanH5416 saidH559[H8799] unto DavidH1732, The LORDH3068 also hath put awayH5674[H8689] thy sinH2403; thou shalt not dieH4191.[H8799] |
[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]HowbeitH657, because by this deedH1697 thou hast givenH5006 great occasionH5006[H8763] to the enemiesH341[H8802] of the LORDH3068 to blasphemeH5006[H8765], the childH1121 also that is bornH3209 unto thee shall surelyH4191[H8800] dieH4191.[H8799] |
[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 NathanH5416 departedH3212[H8799] unto his houseH1004. And the LORDH3068 struckH5062[H8799] the childH3206 that Uriah'sH223 wifeH802 bareH3205[H8804] unto DavidH1732, and it was very sickH605.[H8735] |
[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]DavidH1732 therefore besoughtH1245[H8762] GodH430 for the childH5288; and DavidH1732 fastedH6684[H8799][H6685], and went inH935[H8804], and layH7901[H8804] all nightH3885[H8804] upon the earthH776. |
[16]David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth. |
| [17]And the eldersH2205 of his houseH1004 aroseH6965[H8799], and went to him, to raise him upH6965[H8687] from the earthH776: but he wouldH14[H8804] not, neither did he eatH1262[H8804] bread with themH3899. |
[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 seventhH7637 dayH3117, that the childH3206 diedH4191[H8799]. And the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732 fearedH3372[H8799] to tellH5046[H8687] him that the childH3206 was deadH4191[H8804]: for they saidH559[H8804], Behold, while the childH3206 was yet aliveH2416, we spakeH1696[H8765] unto him, and he would not hearkenH8085[H8804] unto our voiceH6963: how will he thenH6213 vexH7451 himselfH6213[H8804], if we tellH559[H8799] him that the childH3206 is deadH4191?[H8804] |
[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 DavidH1732 sawH7200[H8799] that his servantsH5650 whisperedH3907[H8693], DavidH1732 perceivedH995[H8799] that the childH3206 was deadH4191[H8804]: therefore DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] unto his servantsH5650, Is the childH3206 deadH4191[H8804]? And they saidH559[H8799], He is deadH4191.[H8804] |
[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 DavidH1732 aroseH6965[H8799] from the earthH776, and washedH7364[H8799], and anointedH5480[H8686] himself, and changedH2498[H8762] his apparelH8071, and cameH935[H8799] into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and worshippedH7812[H8691]: then he cameH935[H8799] to his own houseH1004; and when he requiredH7592[H8799], they setH7760[H8799] breadH3899 before him, and he did eatH398.[H8799] |
[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 saidH559[H8799] his servantsH5650 unto him, What thingH1697 is this that thou hast doneH6213[H8804]? thou didst fastH6684[H8804] and weepH1058[H8799] for the childH3206, while it was aliveH2416; but when the childH3206 was deadH4191[H8804], thou didst riseH6965[H8804] and eatH398[H8799] breadH3899. |
[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 saidH559[H8799], While the childH3206 was yet aliveH2416, I fastedH6684[H8804] and weptH1058[H8799]: for I saidH559[H8804], Who can tellH3045[H8802] whether GODH3068 will be graciousH2603[H8804][H8675][H2603][H8762] to me, that the childH3206 may liveH2416? |
[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 deadH4191[H8804], wherefore should I fastH6684[H8802]? canH3201[H8799] I bring him back againH7725[H8687]? I shall goH1980[H8802] to him, but he shall not returnH7725 to meH8799. |
[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 DavidH1732 comfortedH5162[H8762] BathshebaH1339 his wifeH802, and went inH935[H8799] unto her, and layH7901[H8799] with her: and she bareH3205[H8799] a sonH1121, and he calledH7121[H8799] his nameH8034 SolomonH8010: and the LORDH3068 lovedH157 himH8804. |
[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 sentH7971[H8799] by the handH3027 of NathanH5416 the prophetH5030; and he calledH7121[H8799] his nameH8034 JedidiahH3041, because of the LORDH3068. |
[25]And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD. |
| [26]And JoabH3097 foughtH3898[H8735] against RabbahH7237 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and tookH3920[H8799] the royalH4410 cityH5892. |
[26]And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city. |
| [27]And JoabH3097 sentH7971[H8799] messengersH4397 to DavidH1732, and saidH559[H8799], I have foughtH3898[H8738] against RabbahH7237, and have takenH3920[H8804] the cityH5892 of watersH4325. |
[27]And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters. |
| [28]Now therefore gatherH622 the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 togetherH622[H8798], and encampH2583[H8798] against the cityH5892, and takeH3920[H8798] it: lest I takeH3920[H8799] the cityH5892, and it be calledH7121[H8738] after my nameH8034. |
[28]Now therefore 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 DavidH1732 gatheredH622 all the peopleH5971 togetherH622[H8799], and wentH3212[H8799] to RabbahH7237, and foughtH3898[H8735] against it, and tookH3920 itH8799. |
[29]And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it. |
| [30]And he tookH3947[H8799] 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[H8689] the spoilH7998 of the cityH5892 in greatH3966 abundanceH7235.[H8687] |
[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 forthH3318[H8689] the peopleH5971 that were therein, and putH7760[H8799] them under sawsH4050, and under harrowsH2757 of ironH1270, and under axesH4037 of ironH1270, and made them passH5674[H8689] through the brickkilnH4404: and thus didH6213[H8799] he unto all the citiesH5892 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983. So DavidH1732 and all the peopleH5971 returnedH7725[H8799] unto JerusalemH3389. |
[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 brick-kiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem. |
