1 So the Lordsent Nathanthe prophet to tell Davidthis story: "There were two men in a certain town. One was rich, and one was poor. 2 The rich man owned a great many sheep and cattle. 3 The poor man owned nothing but one little lamb he had bought. He raised that little lamb, and it grew up with his children. It ate from the man’s own plate and drank from his cup. He cuddled it in his arms like a baby daughter. 4 One day a guest arrived at the home of the rich man. But instead of killing an animal from his own flock or herd, he took the poor man’s lamb and killed it and prepared it for his guest."
5 Davidwas furious. "As surely as the Lordlives," he vowed, "any man who would do such a thing deserves to die! 6 He must repay four lambs to the poor man for the one he stole and for having no pity."
7 Then Nathansaid to David, "You are that man! The Lord, the God of Israel, says: I anointed you king of Israel and saved you from the power of Saul. 8 I gave you your master’s house and his wives and the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. And if that had not been enough, I would have given you much, much more. 9 Why, then, have you despised the word of the Lordand done this horrible deed? For you have murdered Uriahthe Hittite with the sword of the Ammonitesand stolen his wife. 10 From this time on, your family will live by the sword because you have despised me by taking Uriah’s wife to be your own.
11 "This is what the Lordsays: Because of what you have done, I will cause your own household to rebel against you. I will give your wives to another man before your very eyes, and he will go to bed with them in public view. 12 You did it secretly, but I will make this happen to you openly in the sight of all Israel."
David Confesses His Guilt
13 Then Davidconfessed to Nathan, "I have sinned against the Lord."
Nathanreplied, "Yes, but the Lordhas forgiven you, and you won’t die for this sin. 14 Nevertheless, because you have shown utter contempt for the word of the Lord12:14 As in Dead Sea Scrolls; Masoretic Text reads the enemies of the Lord.by doing this, your child will die."
15 After Nathanreturned to his home, the Lordsent a deadly illness to the child of Davidand Uriah’s wife. 16 Davidbegged God to spare the child. He went without food and lay all night on the bare ground. 17 The elders of his household pleaded with him to get up and eat with them, but he refused.
18 Then on the seventh day the child died. David’s advisers were afraid to tell him. "He wouldn’t listen to reason while the child was ill," they said. "What drastic thing will he do when we tell him the child is dead?"
19 When Davidsaw them whispering, he realized what had happened. "Is the child dead?" he asked.
"Yes," they replied, "he is dead."
20 Then Davidgot up from the ground, washed himself, put on lotions,12:20 Hebrew anointed himself.and changed his clothes. He went to the Tabernacle and worshiped the Lord. After that, he returned to the palace and was served food and ate.
21 His advisers were amazed. "We don’t understand you," they told him. "While the child was still living, you wept and refused to eat. But now that the child is dead, you have stopped your mourning and are eating again."
22 David replied, "I fasted and wept while the child was alive, for I said, ‘Perhaps the Lordwill be gracious to me and let the child live.’ 23 But why should I fast when he is dead? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him one day, but he cannot return to me."
24 Then Davidcomforted Bathsheba, his wife, and slept with her. She became pregnant and gave birth to a son, and David12:24 Hebrew he; an alternate Hebrew reading and some Hebrew manuscripts read she.named him Solomon. The Lordloved the child 25 and sent word through Nathanthe prophet that they should name him Jedidiah(which means "beloved of the Lord"), as the Lordhad commanded.12:25 As in Greek version; Hebrew reads because of the Lord.
David Captures Rabbah
26 Meanwhile, Joabwas fighting against Rabbah, the capital of Ammon, and he captured the royal fortifications.12:26 Or the royal city.27 Joabsent messengers to tell David, "I have fought against Rabbahand captured its water supply.12:27 Or captured the city of water.28 Now bring the rest of the army and capture the city. Otherwise, I will capture it and get credit for the victory."
29 So Davidgathered the rest of the army and went to Rabbah, and he fought against it and captured it. 30 Davidremoved the crown from the king’s head,12:30a Or from the head of Milcom (as in Greek version). Milcom, also called Molech, was the god of the Ammonites.and it was placed on his own head. The crown was made of gold and set with gems, and it weighed seventy-five pounds.12:30b Hebrew 1 talent [34 kilograms].Davidtook a vast amount of plunder from the city. 31 He also made slaves of the people of Rabbahand forced them to labor with12:31a Hebrew He also brought out the people [of Rabbah] and put them under.saws, iron picks, and iron axes, and to work in the brick kilns.12:31b Hebrew and he made them pass through the brick kilns.That is how he dealt with the people of all the Ammonitetowns. Then Davidand all the army returned to Jerusalem.
