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 rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds : 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 .1 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'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 :2 6 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold , because he did this thing , and because he had no pity . 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 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 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 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 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 didst it secretly : but I will do this thing before all Israel , and before the sun . 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 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 Nathan departed unto his house . And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David , and it was very sick . 16 David therefore besought God for the child ; and David fasted , and went in , and lay all night upon the earth .3 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 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 ?4 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 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 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 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 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 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 sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet ; and he called his name Jedidiah , because of the LORD .5
26 And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon , and took the royal city . 27 And Joab sent messengers to David , and said , I have fought against Rabbah , and have taken the city of waters . 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 .6 29 And David gathered all the people together , and went to Rabbah , and fought against it, and took it. 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 .7 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 brickkiln : and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon . So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem .
