men°°
in one°
city;°

poor.°° |

[man] had°
exceeding°
many°°
flocks°
and herds:° |
|

|
12:3
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.° |
|

unto the rich°
man,°

to take°°
of his own flock°°

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. |

kindled°°
against the man;°
and he said°°
to°
Nathan,°
[As] Yahweh°
liveth,°
the man°
that hath done°°
this°
[thing] shall surely°
die:°°° |
|
12:6
And he shall restore the lamb seven-fold, because he has not spared. |
|
12:6
And he shall restore°°
the lamb°
fourfold,°
because°°
he did°°°
this°
thing,°
and because°°
he had no°
pity.°° |

And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man that has done this. Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I anointed thee to be king over Israel, and I rescued thee out the hand of Saul; |
|
12:7 ¶
And Nathan°
said°°
to°
David,°
Thou°
[art] the man.°
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Elohim°
of Israel,°
I°
anointed°°
thee king°
over°
Israel,°
and I°
delivered°°
thee out of the hand°°
of Saul;° |
|
12:8
and I gave thee the house of thy lord, and the wives of thy lord into thy bosom, and I gave to thee the house of Israel and Judah{gr.Juda}; and if that had been little, I would have given thee yet more. |
|
12:8
And I gave°°
thee°
thy adon's°
house,°
and thy adon'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.° |
|
12:9
Why hast thou set at nought the word of the Lord, to do that which is evil in his eyes? thou hast slain Uriah{gr.Urias} the Hittite{gr.Chettite} with the sword, and thou hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and thou hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. |
|
12:9
Wherefore°
hast thou despised°°°
the commandment°
of Yahweh,°
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.° |
|
12:10
Now therefore the sword shall not depart from thy house for ever, because thou has set me at nought, and thou hast taken the wife of Uriah{gr.Urias} the Hittite{gr.Chettite}, to be thy wife. |
|
12:10
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.° |
|
12:11
Thus says the Lord, Behold, I will raise up against thee evil out of thy house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and will give them to thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. |
|
12:11
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
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.° |
|
12:12
For thou didst it secretly, but I will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and before the sun. |
|
12:12
For°
thou°
didst°°
[it] secretly:°
but I°
will do°°°
this°
thing°
before°
all°
Israel,°
and before°
the sun.° |

I have sinned°°
against Yahweh.°
And Nathan°
said°°
unto°
David,°
Yahweh°
also°
hath put away°°
thy sin;°
thou shalt not°
die.°° |
|
12:14
Only because thou hast given great occasion of provocation to the enemies of the Lord by this thing, thy son also that is born to thee shall surely die. |
|
12:14
Howbeit,°
because°
by this°
deed°
thou hast given°°
great occasion°°°
to the enemies°°
of Yahweh°
to blaspheme,°°
the child°
also°
[that is] born°
unto thee shall surely°°
die.°° |
|
12:15 ¶

departed°°°
unto°
his house.°
And Yahweh°
struck°°°
the child°
that°
Uriah's°
wife°
bare°°
unto David,°
and it was very sick.°° |
|
12:16

|
12:16
David°
therefore besought°°°
Elohim°
for°

in,°°

all°
night°°
upon the earth.° |

bread°
with°
them. |

12:18
And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died: and the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive we spoke to him, and he hearkened not to our voice; and thou should we tell him that the child is dead?-- so would he do [himself] harm. |
|
12:18
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?°° |
|
12:19
And David understood that his servants were whispering, and David perceived that the child was dead: and David said to his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, He is dead. |
|
12:19
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.°° |
|
12:20

arose°°
from the earth,°°
and washed,°°
and anointed°°
[himself], and changed°°
his apparel,°
and came°°
into the house°
of Yahweh,°
and worshipped:°°
then he came°°
to°
his own house;°
and when he required,°°
they set°°
bread°
before him, and he did eat.°° |
|
12:21
And his servants said to him, What [is] this thing that thou hast done concerning the child? while it was yet living thou didst fast, and weep, and watch: and when the child was dead thou didst rise up, and didst eat bread, and drink. |
|
12:21
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.° |
|
12:22
And David said, While the child yet lived, I fasted and wept; for I said, Who knows if the Lord will pity me, and the child live? |
|
12:22
And he said,°°
While the child°
was yet°
alive,°
I fasted°°
and wept:°°
for°
I said,°°
Who°
can tell°°
[whether] Yahweh°
will be gracious°°°°
to me, that the child°
may live?° |
|
12:23
But now it is dead, why should I fast thus? shall I be able to bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me. |
|
12:23
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. |
