rsv 2Samuel:12:11-2
rsv@2Samuel:12:11 @ Thus says 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.
rsv@2Samuel:12:12 @ For you did it secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.'"
rsv@2Samuel:12:13 @ 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.
rsv@2Samuel:12:14 @ Nevertheless, because by this deed you have utterly scorned the LORD, the child that is born to you shall die."
rsv@2Samuel:12:15 @ Then Nathan went to his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uri'ah's wife bore to David, and it became sick.
rsv@2Samuel:12:16 @ David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in and lay all night upon the ground.
rsv@2Samuel:12:17 @ And the elders of his house stood beside him, to raise him from the ground; but he would not, nor did he eat food with them.
rsv@2Samuel:12:18 @ On the seventh day 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 did not listen to us; how then can we say to him the child is dead? He may do himself some harm."
rsv@2Samuel:12:19 @ But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, "Is the child dead?" They said, "He is dead."
rsv@2Samuel:12:20 @ Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he went into the house of the LORD, and worshiped; he then went to his own house; and when he asked, they set food before him, and he ate.
rsv@2Samuel:12:21 @ Then his servants said to him, "What is this thing that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while it was alive; but when the child died, you arose and ate food."
rsv@2Samuel:12:22 @ He said, "While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, `Who knows whether the LORD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?'
rsv@2Samuel:12:23 @ But now he is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me."
rsv@2Samuel:12:24 @ Then David comforted his wife, Bathshe'ba, 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,
rsv@2Samuel:12:25 @ and sent a message by Nathan the prophet; so he called his name Jedidi'ah, because of the LORD.
rsv@2Samuel:12:26 @ Now Jo'ab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites, and took the royal city.
rsv@2Samuel:12:27 @ And Jo'ab sent messengers to David, and said, "I have fought against Rabbah; moreover, I have taken the city of waters.
rsv@2Samuel:12:28 @ Now, then, gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it; lest I take the city, and it be called by my name."
rsv@2Samuel:12:29 @ So David gathered all the people together and went to Rabbah, and fought against it and took it.
rsv@2Samuel:12:30 @ And he took the crown of their king from his head; the weight of it was a talent of gold, and in it was a precious stone; and it was placed on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city, a very great amount.
rsv@2Samuel:12:31 @ And he brought forth the people who were in it, and set them to labor with saws and iron picks and iron axes, and made them toil at the brickkilns; and thus he did to all the cities of the Ammonites. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
