2 Samuel 12:10-23

  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]  .

  14 H657 Howbeit H1697 , because by this deed H5006 thou hast given H5006 great occasion [H8763]   H341 to the enemies [H8802]   H3068 of the LORD H5006 to blaspheme [H8765]   H1121 , the child H3209 also that is born H4191 unto thee shall surely [H8800]   H4191 die [H8799]  .

  15 H5416 And Nathan H3212 departed [H8799]   H1004 unto his house H3068 . And the LORD H5062 struck [H8799]   H3206 the child H223 that Uriah's H802 wife H3205 bare [H8804]   H1732 unto David H605 , and it was very sick [H8735]  .

  16 H1732 David H1245 therefore besought [H8762]   H430 God H5288 for the child H1732 ; and David H6684 fasted [H8799]   H6685   H935 , and went in [H8804]   H7901 , and lay [H8804]   H3885 all night [H8804]   H776 upon the earth.

  17 H2205 And the elders H1004 of his house H6965 arose [H8799]   H6965 , and went to him, to raise him up [H8687]   H776 from the earth H14 : but he would [H8804]   H1262 not, neither did he eat [H8804]   H3899 bread with them.

  18 H7637 And it came to pass on the seventh H3117 day H3206 , that the child H4191 died [H8799]   H5650 . And the servants H1732 of David H3372 feared [H8799]   H5046 to tell [H8687]   H3206 him that the child H4191 was dead [H8804]   H559 : for they said [H8804]   H3206 , Behold, while the child H2416 was yet alive H1696 , we spake [H8765]   H8085 unto him, and he would not hearken [H8804]   H6963 unto our voice H6213 : how will he then H7451 vex H6213 himself [H8804]   H559 , if we tell [H8799]   H3206 him that the child H4191 is dead [H8804]  ?

  19 H1732 But when David H7200 saw [H8799]   H5650 that his servants H3907 whispered [H8693]   H1732 , David H995 perceived [H8799]   H3206 that the child H4191 was dead [H8804]   H1732 : therefore David H559 said [H8799]   H5650 unto his servants H3206 , Is the child H4191 dead [H8804]   H559 ? And they said [H8799]   H4191 , He is dead [H8804]  .

  20 H1732 Then David H6965 arose [H8799]   H776 from the earth H7364 , and washed [H8799]   H5480 , and anointed [H8686]   H2498 himself, and changed [H8762]   H8071 his apparel H935 , and came [H8799]   H1004 into the house H3068 of the LORD H7812 , and worshipped [H8691]   H935 : then he came [H8799]   H1004 to his own house H7592 ; and when he required [H8799]   H7760 , they set [H8799]   H3899 bread H398 before him, and he did eat [H8799]  .

  21 H559 Then said [H8799]   H5650 his servants H1697 unto him, What thing H6213 is this that thou hast done [H8804]   H6684 ? thou didst fast [H8804]   H1058 and weep [H8799]   H3206 for the child H2416 , while it was alive H3206 ; but when the child H4191 was dead [H8804]   H6965 , thou didst rise [H8804]   H398 and eat [H8799]   H3899 bread.

  22 H559 And he said [H8799]   H3206 , While the child H2416 was yet alive H6684 , I fasted [H8804]   H1058 and wept [H8799]   H559 : for I said [H8804]   H3045 , Who can tell [H8802]   H3068 whether GOD H2603 will be gracious [H8804]   [H8675]   H2603   [H8762]   H3206 to me, that the child H2416 may live?

  23 H4191 But now he is dead [H8804]   H6684 , wherefore should I fast [H8802]   H3201 ? can [H8799]   H7725 I bring him back again [H8687]   H1980 ? I shall go [H8802]   H7725 to him, but he shall not return [H8799]   to me.
