1 H3068 And Jehovah H7971 sent H5416 Nathan H1732 unto David. H935 And he came H559 unto him, and said H8147 unto him, There were two H582 men H259 in one H5892 city; H259 the one H6223 rich, H259 and the other H7326 poor.

2 H6223 The rich H3966 man had exceeding H7235 many H6629 flocks H1241 and herds;

3 H7326 but the poor H259 man had nothing, save one H6996 little H3535 ewe lamb, H7069 which he had bought H2421 and nourished up: H1431 and it grew up H3162 together H1121 with him, and with his children; H398 it did eat H6595 of his own morsel, H8354 and drank H3563 of his own cup, H7901 and lay H2436 in his bosom, H1323 and was unto him as a daughter.

4 H935 And there came H1982 a traveller H6223 unto the rich H376 man, H2550 and he spared H3947 to take H6629 of his own flock H1241 and of his own herd, H6213 to dress H732 for the wayfaring man H935 that was come H3947 unto him, but took H7326 the poor H376 man's H3535 lamb, H6213 and dressed H376 it for the man H935 that was come to him.

5 H1732 And David's H639 anger H3966 was greatly H2734 kindled H376 against the man; H559 and he said H5416 to Nathan, H3068 As Jehovah H2416 liveth, H376 the man H6213 that hath done H1121 this is worthy H4194 to die:

6 H7999 and he shall restore H3535 the lamb H706 fourfold, H6118 because H6213 he did H1697 this thing, H834 and because H2550 he had no pity.

7 H5416 And Nathan H559 said H1732 to David, H376 Thou art the man. H559 Thus saith H3068 Jehovah, H430 the God H3478 of Israel, H4886 I anointed H4428 thee king H3478 over Israel, H5337 and I delivered H3027 thee out of the hand H7586 of Saul;

8 H5414 and I gave H113 thee thy master's H1004 house, H113 and thy master's H802 wives H2436 into thy bosom, H5414 and gave H1004 thee the house H3478 of Israel H3063 and of Judah; H4592 and if that had been too little, H3254 I would have added H2007 unto thee such H2007 and such things.

9 H959 Wherefore hast thou despised H1697 the word H3068 of Jehovah, H6213 to do H7451 that which is evil H5869 in his sight? H5221 thou hast smitten H223 Uriah H2850 the Hittite H2719 with the sword, H3947 and hast taken H802 his wife H802 to be thy wife, H2026 and hast slain H2719 him with the sword H1121 of the children H5983 of Ammon.

10 H2719 Now therefore the sword H5704 shall never H5493 depart H1004 from thy house, H6118 because H959 thou hast despised H3947 me, and hast taken H802 the wife H223 of Uriah H2850 the Hittite H802 to be thy wife.

11 H559 Thus saith H3068 Jehovah, H6965 Behold, I will raise up H7451 evil H1004 against thee out of thine own house; H3947 and I will take H802 thy wives H5869 before thine eyes, H5414 and give H7453 them unto thy neighbor, H7901 and he shall lie H802 with thy wives H5869 in the sight H8121 of this sun.

12 H6213 For thou didst H5643 it secretly: H6213 but I will do H1697 this thing H3478 before all Israel, H8121 and before the sun.

13 H1732 And David H559 said H5416 unto Nathan, H2398 I have sinned H3068 against Jehovah. H5416 And Nathan H559 said H1732 unto David, H3068 Jehovah H5674 also hath put away H2403 thy sin; H4191 thou shalt not die.

14 H657 Howbeit, H1697 because by this deed H5006 thou hast given H5006 great occasion H341 to the enemies H3068 of Jehovah H5006 to blaspheme, H1121 the child H3209 also that is born H4191 unto thee shall surely H4191 die.
