2 Samuel 11:2--12:29

And it came to pass in an eveningtide
<06153> <06256>_,

that David
<01732>

arose
<06965> (8799)

from off his bed
<04904>_,

and walked
<01980> (8691)

upon the roof
<01406>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_:

and from the roof
<01406>

he saw
<07200> (8799)

a woman
<0802>

washing
<07364> (8801)

herself; and the woman
<0802>

[was] very
<03966>

beautiful
<02896>

to look upon
<04758>_.

And David
<01732>

sent
<07971> (8799)

and enquired
<01875> (8799)

after the woman
<0802>_.

And [one] said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is] not this Bathsheba
<01339>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Eliam
<0463>_,

the wife
<0802>

of Uriah
<0223>

the Hittite
<02850>_?

{Bathsheba: or, Bathshuah} {Eliam: or Ammiel}

And David
<01732>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

her; and she came in
<0935> (8799)

unto him, and he lay
<07901> (8799)

with her; for she was purified
<06942> (8693)

from her uncleanness
<02932>_:

and she returned
<07725> (8799)

unto her house
<01004>_.

{for she...: or, and when she had purified herself, etc, she returned}

And the woman
<0802>

conceived
<02029> (8799)_,

and sent
<07971> (8799)

and told
<05046> (8686)

David
<01732>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] with child
<02030>_.

And David
<01732>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to Joab
<03097>_,

[saying], Send
<07971> (8798)

me Uriah
<0223>

the Hittite
<02850>_.

And Joab
<03097>

sent
<07971> (8799)

Uriah
<0223>

to David
<01732>_.

And when Uriah
<0223>

was come
<0935> (8799)

unto him, David
<01732>

demanded
<07592> (8799)

[of him] how Joab
<03097>

did
<07965>_,

and how the people
<05971>

did
<07965>_,

and how the war
<04421>

prospered
<07965>_.

{how Joab...: Heb. of the peace of, etc}

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Uriah
<0223>_,

Go down
<03381> (8798)

to thy house
<01004>_,

and wash
<07364> (8798)

thy feet
<07272>_.

And Uriah
<0223>

departed out
<03318> (8799)

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

and there followed
<0310>

him a mess
<04864>

[of meat] from the king
<04428>_.

{followed...: Heb. went out after him}

But Uriah
<0223>

slept
<07901> (8799)

at the door
<06607>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>

with all the servants
<05650>

of his lord
<0113>_,

and went not down
<03381> (8804)

to his house
<01004>_.

And when they had told
<05046> (8686)

David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Uriah
<0223>

went not down
<03381> (8804)

unto his house
<01004>_,

David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Uriah
<0223>_,

Camest
<0935> (8802)

thou not from [thy] journey
<01870>_?

why [then] didst thou not go down
<03381> (8804)

unto thine house
<01004>_?

And Uriah
<0223>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

The ark
<0727>_,

and Israel
<03478>_,

and Judah
<03063>_,

abide
<03427> (8802)

in tents
<05521>_;

and my lord
<0113>

Joab
<03097>_,

and the servants
<05650>

of my lord
<0113>_,

are encamped
<02583> (8802)

in the open
<06440>

fields
<07704>_;

shall I
<0589>

then go
<0935> (8799)

into mine house
<01004>_,

to eat
<0398> (8800)

and to drink
<08354> (8800)_,

and to lie
<07901> (8800)

with my wife
<0802>_?

[as] thou livest
<02416>_,

and [as] thy soul
<05315>

liveth
<02416>_,

I will not do
<06213> (8799)

this thing
<01697>_.

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Uriah
<0223>_,

Tarry
<03427> (8798)

here to day
<03117>

also, and to morrow
<04279>

I will let thee depart
<07971> (8762)_.

So Uriah
<0223>

abode
<03427> (8799)

in Jerusalem
<03389>

that day
<03117>_,

and the morrow
<04283>_.

And when David
<01732>

had called
<07121> (8799)

him, he did eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8799)

before
<06440>

him; and he made him drunk
<07937> (8762)_:

and at even
<06153>

he went out
<03318> (8799)

to lie
<07901> (8800)

on his bed
<04904>

with the servants
<05650>

of his lord
<0113>_,

but went not down
<03381> (8804)

to his house
<01004>_.

And it came to pass in the morning
<01242>_,

that David
<01732>

wrote
<03789> (8799)

a letter
<05612>

to Joab
<03097>_,

and sent
<07971> (8799)

[it] by the hand
<03027>

of Uriah
<0223>_.

And he wrote
<03789> (8799)

in the letter
<05612>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Set
<03051> (8798)

ye Uriah
<0223>

in the forefront
<06440> <04136>

of the hottest
<02389>

battle
<04421>_,

and retire
<07725> (8804)

ye from him
<0310>_,

that he may be smitten
<05221> (8738)_,

and die
<04191> (8804)_.

{hottest: Heb. strong} {from him: Heb. from after him}

And it came to pass, when Joab
<03097>

observed
<08104> (8800)

the city
<05892>_,

that he assigned
<05414> (8799)

Uriah
<0223>

unto a place
<04725>

where he knew
<03045> (8804)

that valiant
<02428>

men
<0582>

[were].

And the men
<0582>

of the city
<05892>

went out
<03318> (8799)_,

and fought
<03898> (8735)

with Joab
<03097>_:

and there fell
<05307> (8799)

[some] of the people
<05971>

of the servants
<05650>

of David
<01732>_;

and Uriah
<0223>

the Hittite
<02850>

died
<04191> (8799)

also.

Then Joab
<03097>

sent
<07971> (8799)

and told
<05046> (8686)

David
<01732>

all the things
<01697>

concerning the war
<04421>_;

And charged
<06680> (8762)

the messenger
<04397>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

When thou hast made an end
<03615> (8763)

of telling
<01696> (8763)

the matters
<01697>

of the war
<04421>

unto the king
<04428>_,

And if so be that the king's
<04428>

wrath
<02534>

arise
<05927> (8799)_,

and he say
<0559> (8804)

unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh
<05066> (8738)

unto the city
<05892>

when ye did fight
<03898> (8736)_?

knew
<03045> (8804)

ye not that they would shoot
<03384> (8686)

from the wall
<02346>_?

Who smote
<05221> (8689)

Abimelech
<040>

the son
<01121>

of Jerubbesheth
<03380>_?

did not a woman
<0802>

cast
<07993> (8689)

a piece
<06400>

of a millstone
<07393>

upon him from the wall
<02346>_,

that he died
<04191> (8799)

in Thebez
<08405>_?

why went ye nigh
<05066> (8738)

the wall
<02346>_?

then say
<0559> (8804)

thou, Thy servant
<05650>

Uriah
<0223>

the Hittite
<02850>

is dead
<04191> (8804)

also. {Jerubbesheth: also called, Jerubbaal}

So the messenger
<04397>

went
<03212> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

and shewed
<05046> (8686)

David
<01732>

all that Joab
<03097>

had sent
<07971> (8804)

him for.

And the messenger
<04397>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

Surely the men
<0582>

prevailed
<01396> (8804)

against us, and came out
<03318> (8799)

unto us into the field
<07704>_,

and we were upon them even unto the entering
<06607>

of the gate
<08179>_.

And the shooters
<03384> (8688)

shot
<03384> (8686)

from off the wall
<02346>

upon thy servants
<05650>_;

and [some] of the king's
<04428>

servants
<05650>

be dead
<04191> (8799)_,

and thy servant
<05650>

Uriah
<0223>

the Hittite
<02850>

is dead
<04191> (8804)

also.

Then David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the messenger
<04397>_,

Thus shalt thou say
<0559> (8799)

unto Joab
<03097>_,

Let not this thing
<01697>

displease
<03415> (8799) <05869>

thee, for the sword
<02719>

devoureth
<0398> (8799)

one as well as another
<02090>_:

make thy battle
<04421>

more strong
<02388> (8685)

against the city
<05892>_,

and overthrow
<02040> (8798)

it: and encourage
<02388> (8761)

thou him. {displease...: Heb. be evil in thine eyes} {one...: Heb. so and such}

And when the wife
<0802>

of Uriah
<0223>

heard
<08085> (8799)

that Uriah
<0223>

her husband
<0376>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_,

she mourned
<05594> (8799)

for her husband
<01167>_.

And when the mourning
<060>

was past
<05674> (8799)_,

David
<01732>

sent
<07971> (8799)

and fetched
<0622> (8799)

her to his house
<01004>_,

and she became his wife
<0802>_,

and bare
<03205> (8799)

him a son
<01121>_.

But the thing
<01697>

that David
<01732>

had done
<06213> (8804)

displeased
<03415> (8799) <05869>

the LORD
<03068>_.

{displeased: Heb. was evil in the eyes of}

And the LORD
<03068>

sent
<07971> (8799)

Nathan
<05416>

unto David
<01732>_.

And he came
<0935> (8799)

unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, There were two
<08147>

men
<0582>

in one
<0259>

city
<05892>_;

the one
<0259>

rich
<06223>_,

and the other
<0259>

poor
<07326> (8802)_.

The rich
<06223>

[man] had exceeding
<03966>

many
<07235> (8687)

flocks
<06629>

and herds
<01241>_:

But the poor
<07326> (8802)

[man] had nothing, save one
<0259>

little
<06996>

ewe lamb
<03535>_,

which he had bought
<07069> (8804)

and nourished up
<02421> (8762)_:

and it grew up
<01431> (8799)

together
<03162>

with him, and with his children
<01121>_;

it did eat
<0398> (8799)

of his own meat
<06595>_,

and drank
<08354> (8799)

of his own cup
<03563>_,

and lay
<07901> (8799)

in his bosom
<02436>_,

and was unto him as a daughter
<01323>_.

{meat: Heb. morsel}

And there came
<0935> (8799)

a traveller
<01982>

unto the rich
<06223>

man
<0376>_,

and he spared
<02550> (8799)

to take
<03947> (8800)

of his own flock
<06629>

and of his own herd
<01241>_,

to dress
<06213> (8800)

for the wayfaring man
<0732> (8802)

that was come
<0935> (8802)

unto him; but took
<03947> (8799)

the poor
<07326> (8802)

man's
<0376>

lamb
<03535>_,

and dressed
<06213> (8799)

it for the man
<0376>

that was come
<0935> (8802)

to him.

And David's
<01732>

anger
<0639>

was greatly
<03966>

kindled
<02734> (8799)

against the man
<0376>_;

and he said
<0559> (8799)

to Nathan
<05416>_,

[As] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

the man
<0376>

that hath done
<06213> (8802)

this [thing] shall surely
<01121>

die
<04194>_:

{shall...: or, is worthy to die, or, is a son of death}

And he shall restore
<07999> (8762)

the lamb
<03535>

fourfold
<0706>_,

because
<06118>

he did
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_,

and because
<0834>

he had no pity
<02550> (8804)_.

And Nathan
<05416>

said
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

Thou [art] the man
<0376>_.

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

I anointed
<04886> (8804)

thee king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_,

and I delivered
<05337> (8689)

thee out of the hand
<03027>

of Saul
<07586>_;

And I gave
<05414> (8799)

thee thy master's
<0113>

house
<01004>_,

and thy master's
<0113>

wives
<0802>

into thy bosom
<02436>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

thee the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

and of Judah
<03063>_;

and if [that had been] too little
<04592>_,

I would moreover have given
<03254> (8686)

unto thee such
<02007>

and such things
<02007>_.

Wherefore hast thou despised
<0959> (8804)

the commandment
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to do
<06213> (8800)

evil
<07451>

in his sight
<05869>_?

thou hast killed
<05221> (8689)

Uriah
<0223>

the Hittite
<02850>

with the sword
<02719>_,

and hast taken
<03947> (8804)

his wife
<0802>

[to be] thy wife
<0802>_,

and hast slain
<02026> (8804)

him with the sword
<02719>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

Now therefore the sword
<02719>

shall never
<05704> <05769>

depart
<05493> (8799)

from thine house
<01004>_;

because
<06118>

thou hast despised
<0959> (8804)

me, and hast taken
<03947> (8799)

the wife
<0802>

of Uriah
<0223>

the Hittite
<02850>

to be thy wife
<0802>_.

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Behold, I will raise up
<06965> (8688)

evil
<07451>

against thee out of thine own house
<01004>_,

and I will take
<03947> (8804)

thy wives
<0802>

before thine eyes
<05869>_,

and give
<05414> (8804)

[them] unto thy neighbour
<07453>_,

and he shall lie
<07901> (8804)

with thy wives
<0802>

in the sight
<05869>

of this sun
<08121>_.

For thou didst
<06213> (8804)

[it] secretly
<05643>_:

but I will do
<06213> (8799)

this thing
<01697>

before all Israel
<03478>_,

and before the sun
<08121>_.

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Nathan
<05416>_,

I have sinned
<02398> (8804)

against the LORD
<03068>_.

And Nathan
<05416>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

The LORD
<03068>

also hath put away
<05674> (8689)

thy sin
<02403>_;

thou shalt not die
<04191> (8799)_.

Howbeit
<0657>_,

because by this deed
<01697>

thou hast given
<05006> (0)

great occasion
<05006> (8763)

to the enemies
<0341> (8802)

of the LORD
<03068>

to blaspheme
<05006> (8765)_,

the child
<01121>

also [that is] born
<03209>

unto thee shall surely
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_.

And Nathan
<05416>

departed
<03212> (8799)

unto his house
<01004>_.

And the LORD
<03068>

struck
<05062> (8799)

the child
<03206>

that Uriah's
<0223>

wife
<0802>

bare
<03205> (8804)

unto David
<01732>_,

and it was very sick
<0605> (8735)_.

David
<01732>

therefore besought
<01245> (8762)

God
<0430>

for the child
<05288>_;

and David
<01732>

fasted
<06684> (8799) <06685>_,

and went in
<0935> (8804)_,

and lay
<07901> (8804)

all night
<03885> (8804)

upon the earth
<0776>_.

{fasted: Heb. fasted a fast}

And the elders
<02205>

of his house
<01004>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

[and went] to him, to raise him up
<06965> (8687)

from the earth
<0776>_:

but he would
<014> (8804)

not, neither did he eat
<01262> (8804)

bread
<03899>

with them.

And it came to pass on the seventh
<07637>

day
<03117>_,

that the child
<03206>

died
<04191> (8799)_.

And the servants
<05650>

of David
<01732>

feared
<03372> (8799)

to tell
<05046> (8687)

him that the child
<03206>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_:

for they said
<0559> (8804)_,

Behold, while the child
<03206>

was yet alive
<02416>_,

we spake
<01696> (8765)

unto him, and he would not hearken
<08085> (8804)

unto our voice
<06963>_:

how will he then
<06213> (0)

vex
<07451>

himself
<06213> (8804)_,

if we tell
<0559> (8799)

him that the child
<03206>

is dead
<04191> (8804)_?

{vex: Heb. do hurt}

But when David
<01732>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that his servants
<05650>

whispered
<03907> (8693)_,

David
<01732>

perceived
<0995> (8799)

that the child
<03206>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_:

therefore David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his servants
<05650>_,

Is the child
<03206>

dead
<04191> (8804)_?

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

He is dead
<04191> (8804)_.

Then David
<01732>

arose
<06965> (8799)

from the earth
<0776>_,

and washed
<07364> (8799)_,

and anointed
<05480> (8686)

[himself], and changed
<02498> (8762)

his apparel
<08071>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)_:

then he came
<0935> (8799)

to his own house
<01004>_;

and when he required
<07592> (8799)_,

they set
<07760> (8799)

bread
<03899>

before him, and he did eat
<0398> (8799)_.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

his servants
<05650>

unto him, What thing
<01697>

[is] this that thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_?

thou didst fast
<06684> (8804)

and weep
<01058> (8799)

for the child
<03206>_,

[while it was] alive
<02416>_;

but when the child
<03206>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_,

thou didst rise
<06965> (8804)

and eat
<0398> (8799)

bread
<03899>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

While the child
<03206>

was yet alive
<02416>_,

I fasted
<06684> (8804)

and wept
<01058> (8799)_:

for I said
<0559> (8804)_,

Who can tell
<03045> (8802)

[whether] GOD
<03068>

will be gracious
<02603> (8804) (8675) <02603> (8762)

to me, that the child
<03206>

may live
<02416>_?

But now he is dead
<04191> (8804)_,

wherefore should I fast
<06684> (8802)_?

can
<03201> (8799)

I bring him back again
<07725> (8687)_?

I shall go
<01980> (8802)

to him, but he shall not return
<07725> (8799)

to me.

And David
<01732>

comforted
<05162> (8762)

Bathsheba
<01339>

his wife
<0802>_,

and went in
<0935> (8799)

unto her, and lay
<07901> (8799)

with her: and she bare
<03205> (8799)

a son
<01121>_,

and he called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Solomon
<08010>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

loved
<0157> (8804)

him.

And he sent
<07971> (8799)

by the hand
<03027>

of Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>_;

and he called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Jedidiah
<03041>_,

because of the LORD
<03068>_.

{Jedidiah: that is, Beloved of the LORD}

And Joab
<03097>

fought
<03898> (8735)

against Rabbah
<07237>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and took
<03920> (8799)

the royal
<04410>

city
<05892>_.

And Joab
<03097>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

to David
<01732>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I have fought
<03898> (8738)

against Rabbah
<07237>_,

and have taken
<03920> (8804)

the city
<05892>

of waters
<04325>_.

Now therefore gather
<0622> (0)

the rest
<03499>

of the people
<05971>

together
<0622> (8798)_,

and encamp
<02583> (8798)

against the city
<05892>_,

and take
<03920> (8798)

it: lest I take
<03920> (8799)

the city
<05892>_,

and it be called
<07121> (8738)

after my name
<08034>_.

{it be called...: Heb. my name be called upon it}

And David
<01732>

gathered
<0622> (0)

all the people
<05971>

together
<0622> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to Rabbah
<07237>_,

and fought
<03898> (8735)

against it, and took
<03920> (8799)

it.
