1 H3068 And the LORD H7971 sent [H8799] H5416 Nathan H1732 unto David H935 . And he came [H8799] H559 unto him, and said [H8799] H8147 unto him, There were two H582 men H259 in one H5892 city H259 ; the one H6223 rich H259 , and the other H7326 poor [H8802] .

2 H6223 The rich H3966 man had exceeding H7235 many [H8687] H6629 flocks H1241 and herds:

3 H7326 But the poor [H8802] H259 man had nothing, save one H6996 little H3535 ewe lamb H7069 , which he had bought [H8804] H2421 and nourished up [H8762] H1431 : and it grew up [H8799] H3162 together H1121 with him, and with his children H398 ; it did eat [H8799] H6595 of his own meat H8354 , and drank [H8799] H3563 of his own cup H7901 , and lay [H8799] H2436 in his bosom H1323 , and was unto him as a daughter.

4 H935 And there came [H8799] H1982 a traveller H6223 unto the rich H376 man H2550 , and he spared [H8799] H3947 to take [H8800] H6629 of his own flock H1241 and of his own herd H6213 , to dress [H8800] H732 for the wayfaring man [H8802] H935 that was come [H8802] H3947 unto him; but took [H8799] H7326 the poor [H8802] H376 man's H3535 lamb H6213 , and dressed [H8799] H376 it for the man H935 that was come [H8802] to him.

5 H1732 And David's H639 anger H3966 was greatly H2734 kindled [H8799] H376 against the man H559 ; and he said [H8799] H5416 to Nathan H3068 , As the LORD H2416 liveth H376 , the man H6213 that hath done [H8802] H1121 this thing shall surely H4194 die:

6 H7999 And he shall restore [H8762] H3535 the lamb H706 fourfold H6118 , because H6213 he did [H8804] H1697 this thing H834 , and because H2550 he had no pity [H8804] .

7 H5416 And Nathan H559 said [H8799] H1732 to David H376 , Thou art the man H559 . Thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H4886 , I anointed [H8804] H4428 thee king H3478 over Israel H5337 , and I delivered [H8689] H3027 thee out of the hand H7586 of Saul;

8 H5414 And I gave [H8799] H113 thee thy master's H1004 house H113 , and thy master's H802 wives H2436 into thy bosom H5414 , and gave [H8799] H1004 thee the house H3478 of Israel H3063 and of Judah H4592 ; and if that had been too little H3254 , I would moreover have given [H8686] H2007 unto thee such H2007 and such things.

9 H959 Wherefore hast thou despised [H8804] H1697 the commandment H3068 of the LORD H6213 , to do [H8800] H7451 evil H5869 in his sight H5221 ? thou hast killed [H8689] H223 Uriah H2850 the Hittite H2719 with the sword H3947 , and hast taken [H8804] H802 his wife H802 to be thy wife H2026 , and hast slain [H8804] H2719 him with the sword H1121 of the children H5983 of Ammon.

10 H2719 Now therefore the sword H5704 shall never H5769 H5493 depart [H8799] H1004 from thine house H6118 ; because H959 thou hast despised [H8804] H3947 me, and hast taken [H8799] H802 the wife H223 of Uriah H2850 the Hittite H802 to be thy wife.

11 H559 Thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H6965 , Behold, I will raise up [H8688] H7451 evil H1004 against thee out of thine own house H3947 , and I will take [H8804] H802 thy wives H5869 before thine eyes H5414 , and give [H8804] H7453 them unto thy neighbour H7901 , and he shall lie [H8804] H802 with thy wives H5869 in the sight H8121 of this sun.

12 H6213 For thou didst [H8804] H5643 it secretly H6213 : but I will do [H8799] H1697 this thing H3478 before all Israel H8121 , and before the sun.

13 H1732 And David H559 said [H8799] H5416 unto Nathan H2398 , I have sinned [H8804] H3068 against the LORD H5416 . And Nathan H559 said [H8799] H1732 unto David H3068 , The LORD H5674 also hath put away [H8689] H2403 thy sin H4191 ; thou shalt not die [H8799] .
