are encamped{H2583} in the open{H6440} field;{H7704} shall I{H589} then go{H935} into my house,{H1004} to eat{H398} and to drink,{H8354} and to lie{H7901} with my wife?{H802} as thou livest,{H2416} and as thy soul{H5315} liveth,{H2416} I will not do{H6213} this thing.{H1697} 12 And David{H1732} said{H559} to Uriah,{H223} Tarry{H3427} here to-day{H3117} also, and to-morrow{H4279} I will let thee depart.{H7971} So Uriah{H223} abode{H3427} in Jerusalem{H3389} that day,{H3117} and the morrow.{H4283} 13 And when David{H1732} had called{H7121} him, he did eat{H398} and drink{H8354} before{H6440}

And it came to pass in the morning,{H1242} that David{H1732} wrote{H3789} a letter{H5612} to Joab,{H3097} and sent{H7971} it by the hand{H3027} of Uriah.{H223} 15 And he wrote{H3789} in the letter,{H5612} saying,{H559} Set{H3051} ye Uriah{H223} in the forefront{H6440} of the hottest{H2389} battle,{H4421} and retire{H7725} ye from him,{H310} that he may be smitten,{H5221} and die.{H4191} 16 And it came to pass, when Joab{H3097} kept watch{H8104} upon the city,{H5892} that he assigned{H5414} Uriah{H223} unto the place{H4725} where he knew{H3045} that valiant{H2428} men{H582} were. 17 And the men{H582} of the city{H5892} went out,{H3318} and fought{H3898} with Joab:{H3097} and there fell{H5307} some of the people,{H5971} even of the servants{H5650} of David;{H1732} and Uriah{H223} the Hittite{H2850} died{H4191} also. 18 Then Joab{H3097} sent{H7971} and told{H5046} David{H1732} all the things{H1697} concerning the war;{H4421} 19 and he charged{H6680} the messenger,{H4397} saying,{H559} When thou hast made an end{H3615} of telling{H1696} all the things{H1697} concerning the war{H4421} unto the king,{H4428} 20 it shall be that, if the king's{H4428} wrath{H2534} arise,{H5927} and he say{H559} unto thee, Wherefore went ye so nigh{H5066} unto the city{H5892} to fight?{H3898} knew{H3045} ye not that they would shoot{H3384} from the wall?{H2346} 21 who smote{H5221} Abimelech{H40} the son{H1121} of Jerubbesheth?{H3380} did not a woman{H802} cast{H7993} an upper{H6400} millstone{H7393} upon him from the wall,{H2346} so that he died{H4191} at Thebez?{H8405} why went ye so nigh{H5066} the wall?{H2346} then shalt thou say,{H559} Thy servant{H5650} Uriah{H223} the Hittite{H2850} is dead{H4191} also. 22 So the messenger{H4397} went,{H3212} and came{H935} and showed{H5046} David{H1732} all that Joab{H3097} had sent{H7971} him for. 23 And the messenger{H4397} said{H559} unto David,{H1732} The men{H582} prevailed{H1396} against us, and came out{H3318} unto us into the field,{H7704} and we were upon them even unto the entrance{H6607} of the gate.{H8179} 24 And the shooters{H3384} shot{H3384} at thy servants{H5650} from off the wall;{H2346} and some of the king's{H4428} servants{H5650} are dead,{H4191} and thy servant{H5650} Uriah{H223} the Hittite{H2850} is dead{H4191} also. 25 Then David{H1732} said{H559} unto the messenger,{H4397} Thus shalt thou say{H559} unto Joab,{H3097} Let not this thing{H1697} displease{H3415} thee, for the sword{H2719} devoureth{H398} one as well as another;{H2090} make thy battle{H4421} more strong{H2388} against the city,{H5892} and overthrow{H2040} it: and encourage{H2388} thou him. 26 And when the wife{H802} of Uriah{H223} heard{H8085} that Uriah{H223} her husband{H376} was dead,{H4191} she made lamentation{H5594} for her husband.{H1167} 27 And when the mourning{H60} was past,{H5674} David{H1732} sent{H7971} and took{H622} her home to his house,{H1004} and she became his wife,{H802} and bare{H3205} him a son.{H1121} But the thing{H1697} that David{H1732} had done{H6213} displeased{H3415} Jehovah.{H3068} 1 And Jehovah{H3068} sent{H7971} Nathan{H5416} unto David.{H1732} And he came{H935} unto him, and said{H559} unto him, There were two{H8147} men{H582} in one{H259} city;{H5892} the one{H259} rich,{H6223} and the other{H259} poor.{H7326} 2 The rich{H6223} man had exceeding{H3966} many{H7235} flocks{H6629} and herds;{H1241} 3 but the poor{H7326} man had nothing, save one{H259} little{H6996} ewe lamb,{H3535} which he had bought{H7069} and nourished up:{H2421} and it grew up{H1431} together{H3162} with him, and with his children;{H1121} it did eat{H398} of his own morsel,{H6595} and drank{H8354} of his own cup,{H3563} and lay{H7901} in his bosom,{H2436} and was unto him as a daughter.{H1323} 4 And there came{H935} a traveller{H1982} unto the rich{H6223} man,{H376} and he spared{H2550} to take{H3947} of his own flock{H6629} and of his own herd,{H1241} to dress{H6213} for the wayfaring man{H732} that was come{H935} unto him, but took{H3947} the poor{H7326} man's{H376} lamb,{H3535} and dressed{H6213} it for the man{H376} that was come{H935} to him. 5 And David's{H1732} anger{H639} was greatly{H3966} kindled{H2734} against the man;{H376} and he said{H559} to Nathan,{H5416} As Jehovah{H3068} liveth,{H2416} the man{H376} that hath done{H6213} this is worthy{H1121} to die:{H4194} 6 and he shall restore{H7999} the lamb{H3535} fourfold,{H706} because{H6118} he did{H6213} this thing,{H1697} and because{H834} he had no pity.{H2550} 7 And Nathan{H5416} said{H559} to David,{H1732} Thou art the man.{H376} Thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel,{H3478} I anointed{H4886} thee king{H4428} over Israel,{H3478} and I delivered{H5337} thee out of the hand{H3027} of Saul;{H7586} 8 and I gave{H5414} thee thy master's{H113} house,{H1004} and thy master's{H113} wives{H802} into thy bosom,{H2436} and gave{H5414} thee the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} and of Judah;{H3063} and if that had been too little,{H4592} I would have added{H3254} unto thee such{H2007} and such things.{H2007} 9 Wherefore hast thou despised{H959} the word{H1697} of Jehovah,{H3068} to do{H6213} that which is evil{H7451} in his sight?{H5869} thou hast smitten{H5221} Uriah{H223} the Hittite{H2850} with the sword,{H2719} and hast taken{H3947} his wife{H802} to be thy wife,{H802} and hast slain{H2026} him with the sword{H2719} of the children{H1121} of Ammon.{H5983} 10 Now therefore the sword{H2719} shall never{H5704} depart{H5493} from thy house,{H1004} because{H6118} thou hast despised{H959} me, and hast taken{H3947} the wife{H802} of Uriah{H223} the Hittite{H2850} to be thy wife.{H802} 11 Thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} Behold, I will raise up{H6965} evil{H7451} against thee out of thine own house;{H1004} and I will take{H3947} thy wives{H802} before thine eyes,{H5869} and give{H5414} them unto thy neighbor,{H7453} and he shall lie{H7901} with thy wives{H802} in the sight{H5869} of this sun.{H8121} 12 For thou didst{H6213} it secretly:{H5643} but I will do{H6213} this thing{H1697} before all Israel,{H3478} and before the sun.{H8121} 13 And David{H1732} said{H559} unto Nathan,{H5416} I have sinned{H2398} against Jehovah.{H3068} And Nathan{H5416} said{H559} unto David,{H1732} Jehovah{H3068} also hath put away{H5674} thy sin;{H2403} thou shalt not die.{H4191}
