And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ Nathan⁵⁴¹⁶ unto David.¹⁷³² And he came⁹³⁵ unto him, and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, There were two⁸¹⁴⁷ men⁵⁸² in one²⁵⁹ city;⁵⁸⁹² the one²⁵⁹ rich,⁶²²³ and the other²⁵⁹ poor.⁷³²⁶

The rich⁶²²³ man had exceeding³⁹⁶⁶ many⁷²³⁵ flocks⁶⁶²⁹ and herds:¹²⁴¹

But the poor⁷³²⁶ man had nothing, save one²⁵⁹ little⁶⁹⁹⁶ ewe lamb,³⁵³⁵ which he had bought⁷⁰⁶⁹ and nourished up:²⁴²¹ and it grew up¹⁴³¹ together³¹⁶² with him, and with his children;¹¹²¹ it did eat³⁹⁸ of his own meat,⁶⁵⁹⁵ and drank⁸³⁵⁴ of his own cup,³⁵⁶³ and lay⁷⁹⁰¹ in his bosom,²⁴³⁶ and was unto him as a daughter.¹³²³

And there came⁹³⁵ a traveller¹⁹⁸² unto the rich⁶²²³ man,³⁷⁶ and he spared²⁵⁵⁰ to take³⁹⁴⁷ of his own flock⁶⁶²⁹ and of his own herd,¹²⁴¹ to dress⁶²¹³ for the wayfaring man⁷³² that was come⁹³⁵ unto him; but took³⁹⁴⁷ the poor⁷³²⁶ man's³⁷⁶ lamb,³⁵³⁵ and dressed⁶²¹³ it for the man³⁷⁶ that was come⁹³⁵ to him.

And David's¹⁷³² anger⁶³⁹ was greatly³⁹⁶⁶ kindled²⁷³⁴ against the man;³⁷⁶ and he said⁵⁵⁹ to Nathan,⁵⁴¹⁶ As Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ the man³⁷⁶ that hath done⁶²¹³ this thing shall surely¹¹²¹ die:⁴¹⁹⁴

Matthew 7:1-5

And he shall restore⁷⁹⁹⁹ the lamb³⁵³⁵ fourfold,⁷⁰⁶ because⁶¹¹⁸ he did⁶²¹³ this thing,¹⁶⁹⁷ and because⁸³⁴ he had no pity.²⁵⁵⁰

And Nathan⁵⁴¹⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ to David,¹⁷³² Thou art the man.³⁷⁶ Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ Elohim⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ I anointed⁴⁸⁸⁶ thee king⁴⁴²⁸ over Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and I delivered⁵³³⁷ thee out of the hand³⁰²⁷ of Saul;⁷⁵⁸⁶

And I gave⁵⁴¹⁴ thee thy master's¹¹³ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and thy master's¹¹³ wives⁸⁰² into thy bosom,²⁴³⁶ and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ thee the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and of Judah;³⁰⁶³ and if that had been too little,⁴⁵⁹² I would moreover have given³²⁵⁴ unto thee such²⁰⁰⁷ and such things.²⁰⁰⁷

Wherefore hast thou despised⁹⁵⁹ the commandment¹⁶⁹⁷ of Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ to do⁶²¹³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in his sight?⁵⁸⁶⁹ thou hast killed⁵²²¹ Uriah²²³ the Hittite²⁸⁵⁰ with the sword,²⁷¹⁹ and hast taken³⁹⁴⁷ his wife⁸⁰² to be thy wife,⁸⁰² and hast slain²⁰²⁶ him with the sword²⁷¹⁹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon.⁵⁹⁸³

Now therefore the sword²⁷¹⁹ shall never³⁸⁰⁸ depart⁵⁴⁹³ from thine house;¹⁰⁰⁴ because⁶¹¹⁸ thou hast despised⁹⁵⁹ me, and hast taken³⁹⁴⁷ the wife⁸⁰² of Uriah²²³ the Hittite²⁸⁵⁰ to be thy wife.⁸⁰²

Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ Behold, I will raise up⁶⁹⁶⁵ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ against thee out of thine own house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and I will take³⁹⁴⁷ thy wives⁸⁰² before thine eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and give⁵⁴¹⁴ them unto thy neighbour,⁷⁴⁵³ and he shall lie⁷⁹⁰¹ with thy wives⁸⁰² in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of this sun.⁸¹²¹

For thou didst⁶²¹³ it secretly:⁵⁶⁴³ but I will do⁶²¹³ this thing¹⁶⁹⁷ before all Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and before the sun.⁸¹²¹

And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto Nathan,⁵⁴¹⁶ I have sinned²³⁹⁸ against Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸ And Nathan⁵⁴¹⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ unto David,¹⁷³² Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ also hath put away⁵⁶⁷⁴ thy sin;²⁴⁰³ thou shalt not die.⁴¹⁹¹

Howbeit,⁶⁵⁷ because by this deed¹⁶⁹⁷ thou hast given great⁵⁰⁰⁶ occasion to the enemies³⁴¹ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ to blaspheme,⁵⁰⁰⁶ the child¹¹²¹ also that is born³²⁰⁹ unto thee shall surely⁴¹⁹¹ die.⁴¹⁹¹

And Nathan⁵⁴¹⁶ departed³²¹² unto his house.¹⁰⁰⁴ And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ struck⁵⁰⁶² the child³²⁰⁶ that Uriah's²²³ wife⁸⁰² bare³²⁰⁵ unto David,¹⁷³² and it was very sick.⁶⁰⁵

David¹⁷³² therefore besought¹²⁴⁵ Elohim⁴³⁰ for the child;⁵²⁸⁸ and David¹⁷³² fasted,⁶⁶⁸⁴ and went in,⁹³⁵ and lay⁷⁹⁰¹ all night³⁸⁸⁵ upon the earth.⁷⁷⁶

And the elders²²⁰⁵ of his house¹⁰⁰⁴ arose,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and went to him, to raise him up⁶⁹⁶⁵ from the earth:⁷⁷⁶ but he would¹⁴ not, neither did he eat¹²⁶² bread³⁸⁹⁹ with them.

And it came to pass on the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ day,³¹¹⁷ that the child³²⁰⁶ died.⁴¹⁹¹ And the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of David¹⁷³² feared³³⁷² to tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ him that the child³²⁰⁶ was dead:⁴¹⁹¹ for they said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold, while the child³²⁰⁶ was yet alive,²⁴¹⁶ we spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto him, and he would not hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto our voice:⁶⁹⁶³ how will he then⁶²¹³ vex⁷⁴⁵¹ himself, if we tell⁵⁵⁹ him that the child³²⁰⁶ is dead?⁴¹⁹¹

But when David¹⁷³² saw⁷²⁰⁰ that his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ whispered,³⁹⁰⁷ David¹⁷³² perceived⁹⁹⁵ that the child³²⁰⁶ was dead:⁴¹⁹¹ therefore David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ Is the child³²⁰⁶ dead?⁴¹⁹¹ And they said,⁵⁵⁹ He is dead.⁴¹⁹¹

Then David¹⁷³² arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ from the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and washed,⁷³⁶⁴ and anointed⁵⁴⁸⁰ himself, and changed²⁴⁹⁸ his apparel,⁸⁰⁷¹ and came⁹³⁵ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ and worshipped:⁷⁸¹² then he came⁹³⁵ to his own house;¹⁰⁰⁴ and when he required,⁷⁵⁹² they set⁷⁷⁶⁰ bread³⁸⁹⁹ before him, and he did eat.³⁹⁸

Then said⁵⁵⁹ his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ unto him, What thing¹⁶⁹⁷ is this that thou hast done?⁶²¹³ thou didst fast⁶⁶⁸⁴ and weep¹⁰⁵⁸ for the child,³²⁰⁶ while it was alive;²⁴¹⁶ but when the child³²⁰⁶ was dead,⁴¹⁹¹ thou didst rise⁶⁹⁶⁵ and eat³⁹⁸ bread.³⁸⁹⁹

And he said,⁵⁵⁹ While the child³²⁰⁶ was yet alive,²⁴¹⁶ I fasted⁶⁶⁸⁴ and wept:¹⁰⁵⁸ for I said,⁵⁵⁹ Who can tell³⁰⁴⁵ whether Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ will be gracious²⁶⁰³ to me, that the child³²⁰⁶ may live?²⁴¹⁶

But now he is dead,⁴¹⁹¹ wherefore should I fast?⁶⁶⁸⁴ can³²⁰¹ I bring him back again?⁷⁷²⁵ I shall go¹⁹⁸⁰ to him, but he shall not return⁷⁷²⁵ to me.

And David¹⁷³² comforted⁵¹⁶² Bathsheba¹³³⁹ his wife,⁸⁰² and went in⁹³⁵ unto her, and lay⁷⁹⁰¹ with her: and she bare³²⁰⁵ a son,¹¹²¹ and he called⁷¹²¹ his name⁸⁰³⁴ Solomon:⁸⁰¹⁰ and Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ loved¹⁵⁷ him.

And he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Nathan⁵⁴¹⁶ the prophet;⁵⁰³⁰ and he called⁷¹²¹ his name⁸⁰³⁴ Jedidiah,³⁰⁴¹ because of Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸

And Joab³⁰⁹⁷ fought³⁸⁹⁸ against Rabbah⁷²³⁷ of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ and took³⁹²⁰ the royal⁴⁴¹⁰ city.⁵⁸⁹²

And Joab³⁰⁹⁷ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers⁴³⁹⁷ to David,¹⁷³² and said,⁵⁵⁹ I have fought³⁸⁹⁸ against Rabbah,⁷²³⁷ and have taken³⁹²⁰ the city⁵⁸⁹² of waters.⁴³²⁵

Now therefore gather⁶²² the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ together, and encamp²⁵⁸³ against the city,⁵⁸⁹² and take³⁹²⁰ it: lest I take³⁹²⁰ the city,⁵⁸⁹² and it be called⁷¹²¹ after my name.⁸⁰³⁴

And David¹⁷³² gathered⁶²² all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ together, and went³²¹² to Rabbah,⁷²³⁷ and fought³⁸⁹⁸ against it, and took³⁹²⁰ it.

And he took³⁹⁴⁷ their king's⁴⁴²⁸ crown⁵⁸⁵⁰ from off his head,⁷²¹⁸ the weight⁴⁹⁴⁸ whereof was a talent³⁶⁰³ of gold²⁰⁹¹ with the precious³³⁶⁸ stones:⁶⁸ and it was set on David's¹⁷³² head.⁷²¹⁸ And he brought forth³³¹⁸ the spoil⁷⁹⁹⁸ of the city⁵⁸⁹² in great³⁹⁶⁶ abundance.⁷²³⁵

And he brought forth³³¹⁸ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that were therein, and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ them under saws,⁴⁰⁵⁰ and under harrows²⁷⁵⁷ of iron,¹²⁷⁰ and under axes⁴⁰³⁷ of iron,¹²⁷⁰ and made them pass⁵⁶⁷⁴ through the brickkiln:⁴⁴⁰⁴ and thus did⁶²¹³ he unto all the cities⁵⁸⁹² of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon.⁵⁹⁸³ So David¹⁷³² and all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ returned⁷⁷²⁵ unto Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹
