2 Samuel 12:1-9

1And Jehovah sentH7971 NathanH5416 to DavidH1732. And he cameH935 to him, and saidH559 to him, There wereH1961 twoH8147 menH376 in oneH259 cityH5892; the oneH259 richH6223, and the other poorH7326.

2The richH6223 had veryH3966 manyH7235 flocksH6629 and herdsH1241;

3but the poorH7326 man had nothingH369 at all, but oneH259 littleH6996 ewe lamb which he had boughtH7069, and was nourishing; and it grewH1431 up with him, and togetherH3162 with his children: it ateH398 of his morselH6595, and drankH8354 of his own cupH3563, and slept in his bosomH2436, and was to him as a daughterH1323.

4And there cameH935 a traveller to the richH6223 manH376, and he sparedH2550 to takeH3947 of his own flockH6629 and of his own herdH1241, to dress for the wayfaring manH376 that had comeH935 to him; and he tookH3947 the poorH7326 man's lamb, and dressed it for the manH376 that had comeH935 to him.

5Then David's angerH639 was greatly kindled against the manH376; and he saidH559 to NathanH5416, As Jehovah liveth, the manH376 that hath done this thing is worthy of deathH4194;

6and he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thingH1697, and because he had no pityH2550.

7And NathanH5416 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou art the manH376! ThusH3541 saith Jehovah the 1GodH430 of IsraelH3478: I anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, and I deliveredH5337 thee out of the handH3027 of SaulH7586;

8and I gaveH5414 thee thy master's houseH1004, and thy master's wivesH802 into thy bosomH2436, and gaveH5414 thee the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and of JudahH3063; and if [that] had been too littleH4592, I would moreover have givenH5414 unto thee such and such things.

9Wherefore hast thou despisedH959 the wordH1697 of Jehovah to do evilH7451 in his sight? thou hast smitten Urijah the HittiteH2850 with the swordH2719, and hast takenH3947 his wifeH802 to be thy wifeH802, and hast slainH2026 him with the swordH2719 of the children of AmmonH5983.
