2 Samuel 12:1-9

1And the LORDH3068 sentH7971 NathanH5416 to DavidH1732. And he cameH935 to him, and saidH559 to him, There were twoH8147 menH582 in oneH259 cityH5892; the oneH259 richH6223, and the otherH259 poorH7326.

2The richH6223 man had veryH3966 manyH7235 flocksH6629 and herdsH1241:

3But the poorH7326 man had nothing, except oneH259 littleH6996 ewe lambH3535, which he had boughtH7069 and nourishedH2421: and it grew upH1431 togetherH3162 with him, and with his childrenH1121; it fedH398 of his own foodH6595, and drankH8354 of his own cupH3563, and layH7901 in his bosomH2436, and was to him as a daughterH1323.1

4And there cameH935 a travellerH1982 to the richH6223 manH376, and he was not willingH2550 to takeH3947 of his own flockH6629 and of his own herdH1241, to prepareH6213 for the wayfaring manH732 that had comeH935 to him; but tookH3947 the poorH7326 man’sH376 lambH3535, and preparedH6213 it for the manH376 that had comeH935 to him.

5And David’sH1732 angerH639 was greatlyH3966 kindledH2734 against the manH376; and he saidH559 to NathanH5416, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, the manH376 that hath doneH6213 this thing shall surelyH1121 dieH4194:2

6And he shall restoreH7999 the lambH3535 fourfoldH706, becauseH6118 he didH6213 this thingH1697, and becauseH834 he had no pityH2550.

7And NathanH5416 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou art the manH376. Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, and I deliveredH5337 thee from the handH3027 of SaulH7586;

8And I gaveH5414 thee thy master’sH113 houseH1004, and thy master’sH113 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 givenH3254 to thee suchH2007 and such thingsH2007.

9Why hast thou despisedH959 the commandmentH1697 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 evilH7451 in his sightH5869? thou hast killedH5221 UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 with the swordH2719, and hast takenH3947 his wifeH802 to be thy wifeH802, and hast slainH2026 him with the swordH2719 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
