1 And the LORD H3068 EDS sent H7971 W-VQY3MS Nathan H5416 unto H413 PREP David H1732 MMS . And he came H935 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , There were H1961 VQQ3MP two H8147 ONUM men H376 in one H259 MFS city H5892 ; the one H259 MMS rich H6223 AMS , and the other H259 poor H7326 .
2 The rich H6223 man had H1961 VQQ3MS exceeding H3966 ADV many H7235 VHFA flocks H6629 NMS and herds H1241 W-NMS :
3 But the poor H7326 man had nothing H369 ADV , save H518 PART one H259 OFS little H6996 ewe lamb H3535 , which H834 RPRO he had H1961 W-VQY3FS bought H7069 and nourished up H2421 : and it grew up H1431 together H3162 ADV-3MS with H5973 PREP-3MS him , and with H5973 his children H1121 CMP-3MS ; it did eat H398 VQY2MS of his own meat H6595 , and drank H8354 of his own cup H3563 , and lay H7901 in his bosom H2436 , and was H1961 W-VQY3FS unto him as a daughter H1323 .
4 And there came H935 W-VQY3MS a traveler H1982 unto the rich H6223 man H376 D-NMS , and he spared H2550 to take H3947 L-VQFC of his own flock H6629 and of his own herd H1241 , to dress H6213 L-VQFC for the wayfaring man H732 that was come H935 unto him ; but took H3947 W-VQY3MS the poor H7326 man H376 D-NMS \'s lamb H3535 , and dressed H6213 it for the man H376 D-NMS that was come H935 to H413 him .
5 And David H1732 MMS \'s anger H639 CMS was greatly H3966 ADV kindled H2734 against the man H376 D-NMS ; and he said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Nathan H5416 , As the LORD H3068 EDS liveth H2416 AMS , the man H376 D-NMS that hath done H6213 this H2063 thing shall surely die H1121 CMS :
6 And he shall restore H7999 VPY3MS the lamb H3535 fourfold H706 , because H6118 he did H6213 VQQ3MS this H2088 D-PMS thing H1697 D-NMS , and because H5921 W-PREP he had no H3808 ADV pity H2550 .
7 And Nathan H5416 said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , Thou H859 PPRO-2MS art the man H376 D-NMS . Thus H3541 saith H559 W-VQY3MS the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , I H595 PPRO-1MS anointed H4886 thee king H4428 L-CMS over H5921 PREP Israel H3478 , and I H595 W-PPRO-1MS delivered H5337 thee out of the hand H3027 M-GFS of Saul H7586 ;
8 And I gave H5414 thee thy master H113 \'s house H1004 CMS , and thy master H113 \'s wives H802 GFP into thy bosom H2436 , and gave H5414 thee the house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 and of Judah H3063 ; and if H518 W-PART that had been too little H4592 , I would moreover have given H3254 unto thee such H2007 and such H2007 things .
9 Wherefore H4069 IPRO hast thou despised H959 the commandment H1697 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , to do H6213 L-VQFC evil H7451 in his sight H5869 ? thou hast killed H5221 Uriah H223 the Hittite H2850 with the sword H2719 , and hast taken H3947 his wife H802 CFS-3MS to be thy wife H802 L-NFS , and hast slain H2026 him with the sword H2719 of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 .
10 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore the sword H2719 GFS shall never H3808 NADV depart H5493 from thine house H1004 ; because H6118 thou hast despised H959 me , and hast taken H3947 W-VQY3FS the wife H802 CFS of Uriah H223 the Hittite H2850 to be H1961 thy wife H802 .
11 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , Behold H2009 , I will raise up H6965 VHPMS evil H7451 AFS against H5921 PREP-2MS thee out of thine own house H1004 , and I will take H3947 thy wives H802 before thine eyes H5869 , and give H5414 them unto thy neighbor H7453 , and he shall lie H7901 with H5973 PREP thy wives H802 in the sight H5869 of this H2063 sun H8121 D-NMS .
12 For H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS didst H6213 VQQ2MS it secretly H5643 : but I H589 W-PPRO-1MS will do H6213 this H2088 D-PMS thing H1697 D-NMS before H5048 all H3605 NMS Israel H3478 , and before H5048 the sun H8121 .
13 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Nathan H5416 , I have sinned H2398 VQQ1MS against the LORD H3068 L-EDS . And Nathan H5416 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , The LORD H3068 EDS also H1571 CONJ hath put away H5674 thy sin H2403 ; thou shalt not H3808 NADV die H4191 .
14 Howbeit H657 , because H3588 CONJ by this H2088 D-PMS deed H1697 thou hast given great occasion H5006 to the enemies H341 of the LORD H3068 EDS to blaspheme H5006 , the child H1121 also H1571 CONJ that is born H3209 unto thee shall surely die H4191 VQFA .
15 And Nathan H5416 departed H1980 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP his house H1004 NMS-3MS . And the LORD H3068 EDS struck H5062 the child H3206 that H834 RPRO Uriah H223 \'s wife H802 CFS bore H3205 unto David H1732 L-NAME , and it was very sick H605 .
16 David H1732 MMS therefore besought H1245 God H430 D-EDP for H1157 PREP the child H5288 ; and David H1732 MMS fasted H6684 , and went H935 in , and lay H7901 all H3605 night H3885 upon the earth H776 NFS-3FS .
17 And the elders H2205 of his house H1004 CMS-3MS arose H6965 , and went to H5921 PREP-3MS him , to raise him up H6965 from H4480 PREP the earth H776 D-GFS : but he would H14 not H3808 W-NPAR , neither H3808 W-NPAR did he eat H1262 bread H3899 NMS with H854 PREP-3MP them .
18 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS on the seventh H7637 D-ONUM day H3117 B-AMS , that the child H3206 died H4191 W-VQY3MS . And the servants H5650 of David H1732 feared H3372 to tell H5046 L-VHFC him that H3588 CONJ the child H3206 was dead H4191 : for H3588 CONJ they said H559 , Behold H2009 IJEC , while the child H3206 was H1961 yet alive H2416 AMS , we spoke H1696 unto H413 PREP-3MS him , and he would not H3808 W-NPAR hearken H8085 unto our voice H6963 : how H349 W-IJEC will he then vex H6213 W-VQQ3MS himself , if we tell H559 him that the child H3206 is dead H4191 ?
19 But when David H1732 MMS saw H7200 W-VIY3MS that H3588 CONJ his servants H5650 whispered H3907 , David H1732 MMS perceived H995 that H3588 CONJ the child H3206 was dead H4191 : therefore David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP his servants H5650 , Is the child H3206 dead H4191 ? And they said H559 W-VQY3MS , He is dead H4191 .
20 Then David H1732 MMS arose H6965 W-VQY3MS from the earth H776 , and washed H7364 , and anointed H5480 himself , and changed H2498 his apparel H8071 , and came H935 W-VQY3MS into the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , and worshiped H7812 : then he came H935 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP his own house H1004 NMS-3MS ; and when he required H7592 W-VQY3MS , they set H7760 W-VQY3MP bread H3899 NMS before him , and he did eat H398 W-VQY3MS .
21 Then said H559 W-VQY3MP his servants H5650 unto H413 PREP-3MS him , What H4100 IGAT thing H1697 D-NMS is this H2088 D-PMS that H834 RPRO thou hast done H6213 ? thou didst fast H6684 and weep H1058 for the child H3206 , while H5668 B-NMS it was alive H2416 AMS ; but when H834 RPRO the child H3206 was dead H4191 , thou didst rise H6965 and eat H398 W-VQY3FS bread H3899 NMS .
22 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , While the child H3206 was yet H5750 B-ADV alive H2416 AMS , I fasted H6684 and wept H1058 : for H3588 CONJ I said H559 W-VQY3MS , Who H4310 IPRO can tell H3045 VQPMS whether GOD H3068 EDS will be gracious H2603 to me , that the child H3206 may live H2416 ?
23 But now H6258 W-ADV he is dead H4191 , wherefore H4100 L-IPRO should I H589 PPRO-1MS fast H6684 ? can H3201 I bring him back H7725 again H5750 ADV ? I H589 PPRO-1MS shall go H1980 to H413 PREP-3MS him , but he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS shall not H3808 ADV return H7725 VQY3MS to H413 me .
24 And David H1732 MMS comforted H5162 Bath H1339 - sheba his wife H802 CFS-3MS , and went H935 W-VQY3MS in unto H413 PREP-3FS her , and lay H7901 W-VQY3MS with H5973 PREP-3FS her : and she bore H3205 W-VQY3FS a son H1121 NMS , and he called H7121 his name H8034 CMS-3MS Solomon H8010 MMS : and the LORD H3068 W-EDS loved H157 him .
25 And he sent H7971 W-VQY3MS by the hand H3027 B-CFS of Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030 ; and he called H7121 W-VQY3MS his name H8034 CMS-3MS Jedidiah H3041 , because H5668 B-NMS of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
26 And Joab H3097 fought H3898 against Rabbah H7237 of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 , and took H3920 the royal H4410 city H5892 GFS .
27 And Joab H3097 sent H7971 W-VQY3MS messengers H4397 to H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , I have fought H3898 against Rabbah H7237 , and H1571 CONJ have taken H3920 the city H5892 GFS of waters H4325 D-OMD .
28 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore gather H622 the rest H3499 of the people H5971 together , and encamp H2583 against H5921 PREP the city H5892 D-GFS , and take H3920 it : lest H6435 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS take H3920 the city H5892 D-GFS , and it be called H7121 after H5921 PREP my name H8034 .
29 And David H1732 MMS gathered H622 all H3605 NMS the people H5971 together , and went H1980 W-VQY3MS to Rabbah H7237 , and fought H3898 against it , and took H3920 it .
30 And he took H3947 W-VQY3MS their king H4428 \'s crown H5850 from off H5921 M-PREP his head H7218 CMS-3MS , the weight H4948 whereof was a talent H3603 CFS of gold H2091 NMS with the precious H3368 stones H68 W-GFS : and it was H1961 W-VQY3FS set on H5921 M-PREP David H1732 MMS \'s head H7218 NMS . And he brought forth H3318 VHQ3MS the spoil H7998 of the city H5892 D-GFS in great H3966 ADV abundance H7235 VHFA .
31 And he brought forth H3318 VHQ3MS the people H5971 that H834 RPRO were therein , and put H7760 W-VQY3MS them under saws H4050 , and under harrows H2757 of iron H1270 , and under axes H4037 of iron H1270 , and made them pass through H5674 the brickkiln H4404 : and thus H3651 did H6213 VQY3MS he unto all H3605 the cities H5892 of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 . So David H1732 MMS and all H3605 W-CMS the people H5971 returned H7725 unto Jerusalem H3389 .
