2 Samuel 12:10-23

12:10

Now therefore the sword
<02719>

shall never
<05704> <05769>

depart
<05493> (8799)

from thine house
<01004>_;

because
<06118>

thou hast despised
<0959> (8804)

me, and hast taken
<03947> (8799)

the wife
<0802>

of Uriah
<0223>

the Hittite
<02850>

to be thy wife
<0802>_.

12:11

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Behold, I will raise up
<06965> (8688)

evil
<07451>

against thee out of thine own house
<01004>_,

and I will take
<03947> (8804)

thy wives
<0802>

before thine eyes
<05869>_,

and give
<05414> (8804)

[them] unto thy neighbour
<07453>_,

and he shall lie
<07901> (8804)

with thy wives
<0802>

in the sight
<05869>

of this sun
<08121>_.

12:12

For thou didst
<06213> (8804)

[it] secretly
<05643>_:

but I will do
<06213> (8799)

this thing
<01697>

before all Israel
<03478>_,

and before the sun
<08121>_.

12:13

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Nathan
<05416>_,

I have sinned
<02398> (8804)

against the LORD
<03068>_.

And Nathan
<05416>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

The LORD
<03068>

also hath put away
<05674> (8689)

thy sin
<02403>_;

thou shalt not die
<04191> (8799)_.

12:14

Howbeit
<0657>_,

because by this deed
<01697>

thou hast given
<05006> (0)

great occasion
<05006> (8763)

to the enemies
<0341> (8802)

of the LORD
<03068>

to blaspheme
<05006> (8765)_,

the child
<01121>

also [that is] born
<03209>

unto thee shall surely
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_.

12:15

And Nathan
<05416>

departed
<03212> (8799)

unto his house
<01004>_.

And the LORD
<03068>

struck
<05062> (8799)

the child
<03206>

that Uriah's
<0223>

wife
<0802>

bare
<03205> (8804)

unto David
<01732>_,

and it was very sick
<0605> (8735)_.

12:16

David
<01732>

therefore besought
<01245> (8762)

God
<0430>

for the child
<05288>_;

and David
<01732>

fasted
<06684> (8799) <06685>_,

and went in
<0935> (8804)_,

and lay
<07901> (8804)

all night
<03885> (8804)

upon the earth
<0776>_.

{fasted: Heb. fasted a fast}

12:17

And the elders
<02205>

of his house
<01004>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

[and went] to him, to raise him up
<06965> (8687)

from the earth
<0776>_:

but he would
<014> (8804)

not, neither did he eat
<01262> (8804)

bread
<03899>

with them.

12:18

And it came to pass on the seventh
<07637>

day
<03117>_,

that the child
<03206>

died
<04191> (8799)_.

And the servants
<05650>

of David
<01732>

feared
<03372> (8799)

to tell
<05046> (8687)

him that the child
<03206>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_:

for they said
<0559> (8804)_,

Behold, while the child
<03206>

was yet alive
<02416>_,

we spake
<01696> (8765)

unto him, and he would not hearken
<08085> (8804)

unto our voice
<06963>_:

how will he then
<06213> (0)

vex
<07451>

himself
<06213> (8804)_,

if we tell
<0559> (8799)

him that the child
<03206>

is dead
<04191> (8804)_?

{vex: Heb. do hurt}

12:19

But when David
<01732>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that his servants
<05650>

whispered
<03907> (8693)_,

David
<01732>

perceived
<0995> (8799)

that the child
<03206>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_:

therefore David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his servants
<05650>_,

Is the child
<03206>

dead
<04191> (8804)_?

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

He is dead
<04191> (8804)_.

12:20

Then David
<01732>

arose
<06965> (8799)

from the earth
<0776>_,

and washed
<07364> (8799)_,

and anointed
<05480> (8686)

[himself], and changed
<02498> (8762)

his apparel
<08071>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)_:

then he came
<0935> (8799)

to his own house
<01004>_;

and when he required
<07592> (8799)_,

they set
<07760> (8799)

bread
<03899>

before him, and he did eat
<0398> (8799)_.

12:21

Then said
<0559> (8799)

his servants
<05650>

unto him, What thing
<01697>

[is] this that thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_?

thou didst fast
<06684> (8804)

and weep
<01058> (8799)

for the child
<03206>_,

[while it was] alive
<02416>_;

but when the child
<03206>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_,

thou didst rise
<06965> (8804)

and eat
<0398> (8799)

bread
<03899>_.

12:22

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

While the child
<03206>

was yet alive
<02416>_,

I fasted
<06684> (8804)

and wept
<01058> (8799)_:

for I said
<0559> (8804)_,

Who can tell
<03045> (8802)

[whether] GOD
<03068>

will be gracious
<02603> (8804) (8675) <02603> (8762)

to me, that the child
<03206>

may live
<02416>_?

12:23

But now he is dead
<04191> (8804)_,

wherefore should I fast
<06684> (8802)_?

can
<03201> (8799)

I bring him back again
<07725> (8687)_?

I shall go
<01980> (8802)

to him, but he shall not return
<07725> (8799)

to me.
