2 Samuel 12:1 Yahweh3068 sent7971 Nathan5416 to David.1732 He came935 to him, and said559 to him, "There were two8147 men582 in one259 city;5892 the one259 rich,6223 and the other259 poor.7326 cr 2 The rich6223 man had very3966 many7235 flocks6629 and herds,1241 cr 3 but the poor7326 man had nothing, except one259 little6996 ewe lamb,3535 which he had bought7069 and raised.2421 It grew up2421 together3162 with him, and with his children.1121 It ate398 of his own food,6595 drank8354 of his own cup,3563 and lay7901 in his bosom,2436 and was to him like a daughter.1323 cr 4 A traveler1982 came935 to the rich6223 man,376 and he spared2550 to take3947 of his own flock6629 and of his own herd,1241 to dress6213 for the wayfaring man732 who had come935 to him, but took3947 the poor7326 man's376 lamb,3535 and dressed6213 it for the man376 who had come935 to him." cr

2 Samuel 12:5 David's1732 anger639 was greatly3966 kindled2734 against the man,376 and he said559 to Nathan,5416 "As Yahweh3068 lives,2416 the man376 who has done6213 this is worthy1121 to die!4194 cr 6 He shall restore7999 the lamb3535 fourfold,706 because6118 he did6213 this thing,1697 and because6118 he had no pity!"2550 cr

2 Samuel 12:7 Nathan5416 said559 to David,1732 "You are the man.376 This is what Yahweh,3068 the God430 of Israel,3478 says:559 ‘I anointed4886 you king4428 over Israel,3478 and I delivered5337 you out of the hand3027 of Saul.7586 cr 8 I gave5414 you your master's113 house,1004 and your master's113 wives802 into your bosom,2436 and gave5414 you the house1004 of Israel3478 and of Judah;3063 and if that would have been too little,4592 I would have added3254 to you many more such2007 things.2007 cr 9 Why have you despised959 the word1697 of Yahweh,3068 to do6213 that which is evil7451 in his sight?5869 You have struck5221 Uriah223 the Hittite2850 with the sword,2719 and have taken3947 his wife802 to be your wife,802 and have slain2026 him with the sword2719 of the children1121 of Ammon.5983 cr 10 Now therefore the sword2719 will never5704 depart5493 from your house,1004 because6118 you have despised959 me, and have taken3947 the wife802 of Uriah223 the Hittite2850 to be your wife.'802 cr

2 Samuel 12:11 "This is what Yahweh3068 says:559 ‘Behold, I will raise up6965 evil7451 against you out of your own house;1004 and I will take3947 your wives802 before your eyes,5869 and give5414 them to your neighbor,7453 and he will lie7901 with your wives802 in the sight5869 of this sun.8121 cr 12 For you did6213 it secretly,5643 but I will do6213 this thing1697 before all Israel,3478 and before the sun.'"8121 cr

2 Samuel 12:13 David1732 said559 to Nathan,5416 "I have sinned2398 against Yahweh."3068 Nathan5416 said559 to David,1732 "Yahweh3068 also has put away5674 your sin.2403 You will not die.4191 cr 14 However,657 because by this deed1697 you have given5006 great occasion5006 to Yahweh's3068 enemies341 to blaspheme,5006 the child1121 also who is born3209 to you shall surely4191 die."4191 cr 15 Nathan5416 departed3212 to his house.1004 Yahweh3068 struck5062 the child3206 that Uriah's223 wife802 bore3205 to David,1732 and it was very sick.605 cr 16 David1732 therefore begged1245 God430 for the child;5288 and David1732 fasted,6684 and went in,935 and lay7901 all night3885 on the earth.776 cr 17 The elders2205 of his house1004 arose6965 beside him, to raise him up6965 from the earth:776 but he would14 not, neither did he eat1262 bread3899 with them. cr 18 It happened on the seventh7637 day,3117 that the child3206 died.4191 The servants5650 of David1732 feared3372 to tell5046 him that the child3206 was dead;4191 for they said,559 "Behold, while the child3206 was yet alive,2416 we spoke559 to him, and he didn't listen8085 to our voice.6963 How will he then6213 harm7451 himself,6213 if we tell559 him that the child3206 is dead?"4191 cr

2 Samuel 12:19 But when David1732 saw7200 that his servants5650 were whispering3907 together, David1732 perceived995 that the child3206 was dead;4191 and David1732 said559 to his servants,5650 "Is the child3206 dead?"4191 They said,559 "He is dead."4191 cr

2 Samuel 12:20 Then David1732 arose6965 from the earth,776 and washed,7364 and anointed5480 himself, and changed2498 his clothing;8071 and he came935 into the house1004 of Yahweh,3068 and worshiped:7812 then he came935 to his own house;1004 and when he required,7592 they set7760 bread3899 before him, and he ate.398 cr 21 Then his servants5650 said559 to him, "What1697 is this that you have done?6213 You fasted6684 and wept1058 for the child3206 while he was alive;2416 but when the child3206 was dead,4191 you rose6965 up and ate398 bread."3899 cr

2 Samuel 12:22 He said,559 "While the child3206 was yet alive,2416 I fasted6684 and wept;1058 for I said,559 ‘Who knows3045 whether Yahweh3068 will not be gracious2603 to me, that the child3206 may live?'2416 cr 23 But now he is dead,4191 why should I fast?6684 Can3201 I bring him back again?7725 I shall go1980 to him, but he will not return7725 to me." cr

2 Samuel 12:24 David1732 comforted5162 Bathsheba1339 his wife,802 and went in935 to her, and lay7901 with her. She bore3205 a son,1121 and he called7121 his name8034 Solomon.8010 Yahweh3068 loved157 him; cr 25 and he sent7971 by the hand3027 of Nathan5416 the prophet;5030 and he7121 named8034 him Jedidiah,3041{“Jedidiah” means “loved by Yahweh”.} for Yahweh's3068 sake. cr 26 Now Joab3097 fought3898 against Rabbah7237 of the children1121 of Ammon,5983 and took3920 the royal4410 city.5892 cr 27 Joab3097 sent7971 messengers4397 to David,1732 and said,559 "I have fought3898 against Rabbah.7237 Yes, I have taken3920 the city5892 of waters.4325 cr 28 Now therefore gather622 the rest3499 of the people5971 together,622 and encamp2583 against the city,5892 and take3920 it; lest I take3920 the city,5892 and it be called7121 after my name."8034 cr

2 Samuel 12:29 David1732 gathered622 all the people5971 together,622 and went3212 to Rabbah,7237 and fought3898 against it, and took3920 it. cr 30 He took3947 the crown5850 of their king4428 from off his head;7218 and its weight4948 was a talent3603{A talent is about 30 kilograms or 66 pounds or 965 Troy ounces} of gold,2091 and in it were precious3368 stones;68 and it was set on David's1732 head.7218 He brought out3318 the spoil7998 of the city,5892 exceeding3966 much.7235 cr 31 He brought out3318 the people5971 who were therein, and put7760 them under saws,4050 and under iron1270 picks,2757 and under axes4037 of iron,1270 and made them pass5674 through the brick kiln:4404 and he did6213 so to all the cities5892 of the children1121 of Ammon.5983 David1732 and all the people5971 returned7725 to Jerusalem.3389 cr
