@ 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
.
strkjv@2Samuel:12:2
@ The
rich
man had
exceeding
many
flocks
and
herds
:
strkjv@2Samuel: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
.
strkjv@2Samuel:12:4
@ 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
mans
lamb
, and
dressed
it for the
man
that was
come
to him.
strkjv@2Samuel:12:5
@ And
Davids
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
:
strkjv@2Samuel:12:6
@ And he shall
restore
the
lamb
fourfold
,
because
he
did
this
thing
, and

he had no
pity

strkjv@2Samuel:12:7
@ 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
;
strkjv@2Samuel:12:8
@ And I
gave
thee thy
masters
house
, and thy
masters
wives
into thy
bosom

gave
thee the
house
of
Israel
and of
Judah
; and if that had been too
little
m@, I would moreover have
given
unto thee
such
and such
things
.
strkjv@2Samuel:12:9
@ Wherefore hast thou
despised
the
commandment
of the
LORD

do
evil
in his
sight

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
.
strkjv@2Samuel:12:10
@ Now therefore the
sword
shall
never
H5769
depart
from thine
house

thou hast
despised
me, and hast
taken
the
wife
of
Uriah
the
Hittite
to be thy
wife

strkjv@2Samuel:12:11
@ Thus
saith
the
LORD

evil

sinned

LORD
also hath put
away
thy
sin

die

thou hast

strkjv@2Samuel:12:16

David
therefore
besought

fasted

@ And the
elders
of his

arose

would
not, neither did he
eat
bread

strkjv@2Samuel: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

David
saw
that his

whispered

David
perceived

David
said
unto his

dead
? And they
said
, He is
dead

strkjv@2Samuel:12:20
@ Then
David
arose
from the
earth
, and
washed
, and
anointed
himself, and
changed
his
apparel

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
.
strkjv@2Samuel: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
.
strkjv@2Samuel:12:22
@ And he
said
, While the

was yet
alive

fasted

said

tell
whether
GOD
will be
gracious
to me, that the

may
live

strkjv@2Samuel:12:23
@ But now he is
dead

fast

go

@ And
David
comforted
Bathsheba
Bath- his
