A Novel of King David
David in 2 Samuel 12
(2 Samuel 12:1) And Jehovah sent Nathan to David. And he came to him and said to
him, There were two men in one city, one rich and one poor.
(2 Samuel 12:2) The rich one had exceeding many flocks and herds,
(2 Samuel 12:3) but the poor one had nothing except one little ewe lamb which he
had bought and nourished up. And it grew up together with him and with his sons.
It ate of his own food and drank from his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was
to him like a daughter.
(2 Samuel 12:4) And there came a traveler to the rich man, and he spared to take
of his own flock and of his own herd to dress for the traveler that had come to
him. But he took the poor man's lamb and dressed it for the man who had come to
him.
(2 Samuel 12:5) And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man. And he
said to Nathan, As the Lord lives, the man who has done this shall surely die.
(2 Samuel 12:6) And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this
thing, and because he had no pity.
(2 Samuel 12:7) And Nathan said to David, You are the man! So says Jehovah, the
God of Israel, I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the
hand of Saul.
(2 Samuel 12:8) And I gave you your master's house and your master's wives into
your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah. And if that was too
little, I would have given to you such and such things besides.
(2 Samuel 12:9) Why have you despised the Word of Jehovah, to do evil in His
sight? You have stricken Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his
wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the sons of Ammon.
(2 Samuel 12:10) And therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house,
because you have despised Me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be
your wife.
(2 Samuel 12:11) So says Jehovah, Behold, I will raise up evil against you out
of your own house, and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to
your neighbor. And he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
(2 Samuel 12:12) For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all
Israel and before the sun.
(2 Samuel 12:13) And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against Jehovah. And
Nathan said to David, Jehovah also has put away your sin; you shall not die.
(2 Samuel 12:14) Only, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the
enemies of Jehovah to blaspheme, this child born to you shall surely die.
(2 Samuel 12:15) And Nathan left to go to his house. And Jehovah struck the
child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it was very sick.
(2 Samuel 12:16) And David prayed to God for the child. And David fasted, and
went in and lay all night upon the earth.
(2 Samuel 12:17) And the elders of his house rose up toward him, to raise him up
from the earth. But he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
(2 Samuel 12:18) And it happened on the seventh day, the child died. And the
servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead. For they said,
Behold, while the child was still alive we spoke to him, and he would not listen
to our voice. How then will he trouble himself if we tell him that the child is
dead?
(2 Samuel 12:19) But David saw that his servants whispered. And David understood
that the child was dead. And David said to his servants, Is the boy dead? And
they said, He is dead.
(2 Samuel 12:20) And David arose from the earth and washed, and anointed
himself, and changed his clothing, and came into the house of Jehovah and
worshiped. And he came to his house, and commanded, and they brought bread
before him and he ate.
(2 Samuel 12:21) Then his servants said to him, What is this that you have done?
You fasted and wept for the living boy, but when the child was dead you arose
and ate bread!
(2 Samuel 12:22) And he said, While the child was still alive, I fasted and
wept; for I said, Who can tell if God will be gracious to me so that the child
may live?
(2 Samuel 12:23) But now he is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back
again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
(2 Samuel 12:24) And David comforted his wife Bathsheba. And he went in to her
and lay with her. And she bore a son. And he called his name Solomon. And
Jehovah loved him.
(2 Samuel 12:25) And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and he called
his name Jedidiah, because of Jehovah.
(2 Samuel 12:26) And Joab fought against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and took
the royal city.
(2 Samuel 12:27) And Joab sent messengers to David and said, I have fought
against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.
(2 Samuel 12:28) And therefore gather the rest of the people together, and camp
against the city and take it, lest I take the city and it be called after my
name.
(2 Samuel 12:29) And David gathered all the people and went to Rabbah, and
fought against it and took it.
(2 Samuel 12:30) And he took the king's crown from off his head, the weight of
which was a talent of gold, and a precious stone in it. And it was set on
David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.
(2 Samuel 12:31) And he brought forth the people that were in it, and put them
to the saw, and to sharp tools of iron, and to axes of iron. And he made them go
over into the brick-kiln. And so he did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon.
And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
