2 Samuel 12
- 1 And Jehovah sendeth Nathan unto David, and he cometh unto him, and saith to him: `Two men have been in one city; One rich and one poor;
- 2 The rich hath flocks and herds very many;
- 3 And the poor one hath nothing, Except one little ewe-lamb, Which he hath bought, and keepeth alive, And it groweth up with him, And with his sons together; Of his morsel it eateth, And from his cup it drinketh, And in his bosom it lieth, And it is to him as a daughter;
- 4 And there cometh a traveller to the rich man, And he spareth to take Of his own flock, and of his own herd, To prepare for the traveller Who hath come to him, And he taketh the ewe-lamb of the poor man, And prepareth it for the man Who hath come unto him.'
-
5 And the anger of David burneth against the man exceedingly, and he saith unto Nathan, `Jehovah liveth, surely a son of death
is the man who is doing this, - 6 and the ewe-lamb he doth repay fourfold, because that he hath done this thing, and because that he had no pity.'
-
7 And Nathan saith unto David, `Thou
art the man! Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, I anointed thee for king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; -
8 and I give to thee the house of thy lord, and the wives of thy lord, into thy bosom, and I give to thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if little, then I add to thee such and such
things . - 9 `Wherefore hast thou despised the word of Jehovah, to do the evil thing in His eyes? Uriah the Hittite thou hast smitten by the sword, and his wife thou hast taken to thee for a wife, and him thou hast slain by the sword of the Bene-Ammon.
- 10 `And now, the sword doth not turn aside from thy house unto the age, because thou hast despised Me, and dost take the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be to thee for a wife;
- 11 thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am raising up against thee evil, out of thy house, and have taken thy wives before thine eyes, and given to thy neighbour, and he hath lain with thy wives before the eyes of this sun;
-
12 for thou hast done
it in secret, and I do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.' - 13 And David saith unto Nathan, `I have sinned against Jehovah.' And Nathan saith unto David, `Also--Jehovah hath caused thy sin to pass away; thou dost not die;
- 14 only, because thou hast caused the enemies of Jehovah greatly to despise by this thing, also the son who is born to thee doth surely die.'
- 15 And Nathan goeth unto his house, and Jehovah smiteth the lad, whom the wife of Uriah hath born to David, and it is incurable;
- 16 and David seeketh God for the youth, and David keepeth a fast, and hath gone in and lodged, and lain on the earth.
- 17 And the elders of his house rise against him, to raise him up from the earth, and he hath not been willing, nor hath he eaten with them bread;
- 18 and it cometh to pass on the seventh day, that the lad dieth, and the servants of David fear to declare to him that the lad is dead, for they said, `Lo, in the lad being alive we spake unto him, and he did not hearken to our voice; and how do we say unto him, The lad is dead? --then he hath done evil.'
- 19 And David seeth that his servants are whispering, and David understandeth that the lad is dead, and David saith unto his servants, `Is the lad dead?' and they say, `Dead.'
-
20 And David riseth from the earth, and doth bathe and anoint
himself , and changeth his raiment, and cometh in to the house of Jehovah, and boweth himself, and cometh unto his house, and asketh and they place for him bread, and he eateth. -
21 And his servants say unto him, `What
is this thing thou hast done? because of the living lad thou hast fasted and dost weep, and when the lad is dead thou hast risen and dost eat bread.' - 22 And he saith, `While the lad is alive I have fasted, and weep, for I said, Who knoweth? --Jehovah doth pity me, and the lad hath lived;
-
23 and now, he hath died, why
is this--I fast? am I able to bring him back again? I am going unto him, and he doth not turn back unto me.' - 24 And David comforteth Bath-Sheba his wife, and goeth in unto her, and lieth with her, and she beareth a son, and he calleth his name Solomon; and Jehovah hath loved him,
- 25 and sendeth by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and calleth his name Jedidiah, because of Jehovah.
- 26 And Joab fighteth against Rabbah of the Bene-Ammon, and captureth the royal city,
- 27 and Joab sendeth messengers unto David, and saith, `I have fought against Rabbah--also I have captured the city of waters;
- 28 and now, gather the rest of the people, and encamp against the city, and capture it, lest I capture the city, and my name hath been called upon it.'
- 29 And David gathereth all the people, and goeth to Rabbah, and fighteth against it, and captureth it;
-
30 and he taketh the crown of their king from off his head, and its weight
is a talent of gold, and precious stones, and it is on the head of David; and the spoil of the city he hath brought out, very much; -
31 and the people who
are in it he hath brought out, and setteth to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes of iron, and hath caused them to pass over into the brick-kiln; and so he doth to all the cities of the Bene-Ammon; and David turneth back, and all the people, to Jerusalem.
