Chapter 12
And
the
Lord
sent
Nathan
vnto
Dauid:
and
he
came
vnto
him,
and
said
vnto
him,
There
were
two
men
in
one
citie;
the
one
rich,
and
the
other
poore.
2
The
rich
man
had
exceeding
many
flockes
and
herds.
3
But
the
poore
man
had
nothing
saue
one
litle
ewe
lambe,
which
he
had
bought
and
nourished
vp:
and
it
grew
vp
together
with
him,
and
with
his
children,
it
did
eate
of
his
owne
meate,
and
dranke
of
his
owne
cup,
and
lay
in
his
bosome,
and
was
vnto
him
as
a
daughter.
4
And
there
came
a
traueller
vnto
the
rich
man,
and
he
spared
to
take
of
his
owne
flocke,
and
of
his
owne
herd,
to
dresse
for
the
wayfaring
man
that
was
come
vnto
him,
but
tooke
the
poore
mans
lambe,
and
dressed
it
for
the
man
that
was
come
to
him.
5
And
Dauids
anger
was
greatly
kindled
against
the
man,
and
he
said
to
Nathan,
As
the
Lord
liueth,
the
man
that
hath
done
this
thing,
shall
surely
die.
6
And
he
shall
restore
the
Lambe
fourefold,
because
he
did
this
thing,
and
because
he
had
no
pittie.
7
And
Nathan
said
to
Dauid,
Thou
art
the
man:
thus
saith
the
Lord
God
of
Israel,
I
anointed
thee
king
ouer
Israel,
and
I
deliuered
thee
out
of
the
hand
of
Saul,
8
And
I
gaue
thee
thy
Masters
house,
and
thy
Masters
wiues
into
thy
bosome,
and
gaue
thee
the
house
of
Israel
and
of
Iudah,
and
if
that
had
bene
too
litle,
I
would
moreouer
haue
giuen
vnto
thee
such
and
such
things.
9
Wherefore
hast
thou
despised
the
commandement
of
the
Lord,
to
doe
euill
in
his
sight?
thou
hast
killed
Uriah
the
Hittite
with
the
sword,
and
hast
taken
his
wife
to
be
thy
wife,
and
hast
slaine
him
with
the
sword
of
the
children
of
Ammon.
10
Now
therefore
the
sword
shall
neuer
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
vp
euill
against
thee
out
of
thine
owne
house,
and
I
will
take
thy
wiues
before
thine
eyes,
and
giue
them
vnto
thy
neighbour,
and
he
shall
lie
with
thy
wiues
in
the
sight
of
this
Sunne.
12
For
thou
diddest
it
secretly:
but
I
will
do
this
thing
before
all
Israel,
and
before
the
Sunne.
13
And
Dauid
saide
vnto
Nathan,
I
haue
sinned
against
the
Lord.
And
Nathan
saide
vnto
Dauid,
The
Lord
also
hath
put
away
thy
sinne,
thou
shalt
not
die.
14
Howbeit,
because
by
this
deede
thou
hast
giuen
great
occasion
to
the
enemies
of
the
Lord
to
blaspheme,
the
childe
also
that
is
borne
vnto
thee,
shall
surely
die.
15
And
Nathan
departed
vnto
his
house:
and
the
Lord
strake
the
childe
that
Uriahs
wife
bare
vnto
Dauid,
and
it
was
very
sicke.
16
Dauid
therfore
besought
God
for
the
childe,
and
Dauid
fasted,
and
went
in,
and
lay
all
night
vpon
the
earth.
17
And
the
Elders
of
his
house
arose,
and
went
to
him,
to
raise
him
vp
from
the
earth:
but
he
would
not,
neither
did
he
eate
bread
with
them.
18
And
it
came
to
passe
on
the
seuenth
day,
that
the
childe
died:
and
the
seruants
of
Dauid
feared
to
tell
him
that
the
child
was
dead:
for
they
saide,
Behold,
while
the
childe
was
yet
aliue,
we
spake
vnto
him,
and
he
would
not
hearken
vnto
our
voice:
how
will
he
then
vexe
himselfe,
if
we
tell
him
that
the
childe
is
dead?
19
But
when
Dauid
saw
that
his
seruants
whispered,
Dauid
perceiued
that
the
childe
was
dead:
therefore
Dauid
said
vnto
his
seruants,
Is
the
child
dead?
and
they
said,
He
is
dead.
20
Then
Dauid
arose
from
the
earth
and
washed,
and
anointed
himselfe,
and
changed
his
apparell,
and
came
into
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
worshipped:
then
hee
came
to
his
owne
house,
and
when
he
required,
they
set
bread
before
him,
and
he
did
eate.
21
Then
said
his
seruants
vnto
him,
What
thing
is
this
that
thou
hast
done?
thou
didst
fast
and
weepe
for
the
childe,
while
it
was
aliue,
but
when
the
childe
was
dead,
thou
didst
rise
and
eat
bread.
22
And
he
said,
While
the
child
was
yet
aliue,
I
fasted
and
wept:
for
I
said,
Who
can
tell,
whether
God
will
be
gracious
to
me,
that
the
child
may
liue?
23
But
now
hee
is
dead,
Wherefore
should
I
fast?
Can
I
bring
him
backe
againe?
I
shall
goe
to
him,
but
he
shall
not
returne
to
me.
24
And
Dauid
comforted
Bathsheba
his
wife,
and
went
in
vnto
her,
and
lay
with
her:
and
she
bare
a
sonne,
and
he
called
his
name
Solomon,
and
the
Lord
loued
him.
25
And
hee
sent
by
the
hand
of
Nathan
the
Prophet,
and
hee
called
his
name
Iedidiah,
because
of
the
Lord.
26
And
Ioab
fought
against
Rabbah
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
tooke
the
royall
citie.
27
And
Ioab
sent
messengers
to
Dauid,
and
said,
I
haue
fought
against
Rabbah,
and
haue
taken
the
citie
of
waters.
28
Now
therefore,
gather
the
rest
of
the
people
together,
and
encampe
against
the
citie,
and
take
it:
lest
I
take
the
citie,
and
it
be
called
after
my
name.
29
And
Dauid
gathered
all
the
people
together,
and
went
to
Rabbah,
and
fought
against
it,
and
tooke
it.
30
And
he
tooke
their
kings
crowne
from
off
his
head
(the
weight
whereof
was
a
talent
of
gold,
with
the
precious
stones)
and
it
was
set
on
Dauids
head,
and
he
brought
forth
the
spoile
of
the
citie
in
great
abundance.
31
And
he
brought
foorth
the
people
that
were
therein,
and
put
them
vnder
sawes,
and
vnder
harrowes
of
yron,
and
vnder
axes
of
yron,
and
made
them
passe
through
the
bricke-kilne:
And
thus
did
he
vnto
all
the
cities
of
the
children
of
Ammon.
So
Dauid
and
all
the
people
returned
vnto
Ierusalem.
