AKJV SA2 12:1 And the LORD sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.
AKJV SA2 12:2 The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds:
AKJV SA2 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 to him as a daughter.
AKJV SA2 12:4 And there came a travelers to 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 to him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
AKJV SA2 12:5 And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD lives, the man that has done this thing shall surely die:
AKJV SA2 12:6 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
AKJV SA2 12:7 And Nathan said to David, You are the man. Thus said the LORD God of Israel, I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul;
AKJV SA2 12:8 And I gave you your master's house, and your master's wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given to you such and such things.
AKJV SA2 12:9 Why have you despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? you have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
AKJV SA2 12:10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from your house; because you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.
AKJV SA2 12:11 Thus said the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house, and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
AKJV SA2 12:12 For you did it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
AKJV SA2 12:13 And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said to David, The LORD also has put away your sin; you shall not die.
AKJV SA2 12:14 However,, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born to you shall surely die.
AKJV SA2 12:15 And Nathan departed to his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it was very sick.
AKJV SA2 12:16 David therefore sought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night on the earth.
AKJV SA2 12:17 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.
AKJV SA2 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 spoke to him, and he would not listen to our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?
AKJV SA2 12:19 But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said to his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
AKJV SA2 12:20 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.
AKJV SA2 12:21 Then said his servants to him, What thing is this that you have done? you did fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, you did rise and eat bread.
AKJV SA2 12:22 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?
AKJV SA2 12:23 But now he is dead, why should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
AKJV SA2 12:24 And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her: and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him.
AKJV SA2 12:25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD.
AKJV SA2 12:26 And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
AKJV SA2 12:27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.
AKJV SA2 12:28 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.
AKJV SA2 12:29 And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
AKJV SA2 12:30 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.
AKJV SA2 12:31 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 brick-kiln: and thus did he to all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
