2 Samuel 12 - Bíblia Online

Og Herren sendte Natan til David. Da han kom inn til ham, sa han til ham: Det var to menn i en by, en rik og en fattig. 
Den rike hadde småfe og storfe i mengdevis; 
men den fattige hadde ikke annet enn et eneste lite lam, som han hadde kjøpt og fødd op; det vokste op hos ham sammen med hans barn; det åt av hans brød og drakk av hans beger og lå i hans fang og var som en datter for ham. 
Så kom det en veifarende mann til den rike; men han nente ikke å ta noget av sitt småfe eller storfe og lage det til for den reisende som var kommet til ham, men tok den fattige manns lam og laget det til for den mann som var kommet til ham. 
Da optendtes Davids vrede høilig mot den mann, og han sa til Natan: Så sant Herren lever: Den mann som har gjort dette, er dødsens, 
og lammet skal han betale firedobbelt, fordi han gjorde dette og ikke viste barmhjertighet. 
Da sa Natan til David: Du er mannen. Så sier Herren, Israels Gud: Jeg salvet dig til konge over Israel, og jeg fridde dig ut av Sauls hånd, 
og jeg gav dig din herres hus og din herres hustruer i din favn, og jeg gav dig Israels og Judas hus, og var det for lite, så vilde jeg ha gitt dig ennu mere, både det ene og det annet. 
Hvorfor har du foraktet Herrens ord og gjort hvad som er ondt i hans øine? Hetitten Uria har du slått med sverdet; hans hustru har du tatt til hustru for dig selv, og ham har du drept med Ammons barns sverd. 
Så skal nu sverdet aldri vike fra ditt hus, fordi du har foraktet mig og tatt hetitten Urias hustru til hustru for dig selv. 
Så sier Herren: Se, jeg lar ulykke komme over dig fra ditt eget hus; jeg vil ta dine hustruer for dine øine og gi dem til en annen mann, og han skal ligge hos dine hustruer, så solen her er vidne til det. 
For det du gjorde, gjorde du i lønndom, men jeg vil gjøre dette for hele Israels øine og midt på lyse dagen. 
Da sa David til Natan: Jeg har syndet mot Herren. Og Natan sa til David: Så har også Herren borttatt din synd; du skal ikke dø. 
Men fordi du ved denne gjerning har gitt Herrens fiender årsak til å spotte, så skal også den sønn du har fått, visselig dø. 
Så gikk Natan hjem igjen, og Herren slo barnet som David hadde fått med Urias hustru, så det blev meget sykt. 
Og David søkte Gud for barnets skyld, og David fastet strengt, og hver gang han gikk inn, blev han liggende på jorden hele natten. 
De eldste i hans hus kom og vilde reise ham op fra jorden; men han vilde ikke og åt ikke sammen med dem. 
På den syvende dag døde barnet; men Davids tjenere torde ikke fortelle ham at barnet var død; de tenkte: Mens barnet var i live, talte vi til ham, men han hørte ikke på oss; hvorledes kan vi da nu si til ham at barnet er død? Han kunde gjøre en ulykke på sig. 
Da David så at hans tjenere hvisket sig imellem, skjønte han at barnet var død; og han sa til sine tjenere: Er barnet død? De svarte: Ja, han er død. 
Da stod David op fra jorden og tvettet sig og salvet sig og skiftet klær og gikk inn i Herrens hus og tilbad. Så gikk han hjem igjen og bad om mat, og de satte mat frem for ham, og han åt. 
Da sa hans tjenere til ham: Hvorledes er det du bærer dig at? Mens barnet var i live, fastet du og gråt for ham; men nu som barnet er død, står du op og eter. 
Han svarte: Så lenge barnet var i live, fastet jeg og gråt; for jeg tenkte: Hvem vet om ikke Herren forbarmer sig over mig, så barnet blir i live? 
Men nu som han er død, hvorfor skulde jeg nu faste? Kan jeg hente ham tilbake igjen? Jeg går til ham, men han vender ikke tilbake til mig. 
David trøstet Batseba, sin hustru, og han gikk inn til henne og lå hos henne; og hun fødte en sønn, som han kalte Salomo*. Og Herren elsket ham. / {* d.e. den fredsommelige, 1KR 3, 5. 1KR 22, 9.} 
og han sendte bud med profeten Natan, og han kalte ham Jedidja*, for Herrens skyld. / {* d.e. Herrens elskede, 2SA 12, 24.} 
Joab stred mot Rabba i ammonittenes land og inntok kongestaden. 
Så sendte Joab bud til David og lot si: Jeg har stridt mot Rabba og inntatt vannbyen. 
Samle nu du resten av folket og leir dig mot byen og innta den, så det ikke blir jeg som inntar byen, og mitt navn blir nevnt over den*! / {* d.e. byen kalles den av mig inntatte.} 
Da samlet David alt folket og drog til Rabba; og han stred mot det og inntok det. 
Og han tok deres konges krone fra hans hode; den veide en talent gull, og der var på den en kostbar sten; nu kom den på Davids hode. Og det store hærfang han hadde tatt i byen, førte han med sig bort. 
Og folket som bodde der, førte han ut og la dem under sager og treskesleder av jern og jernøkser og lot dem gå gjennem teglovner. Så gjorde han med alle Ammons barns byer. Derefter vendte David og alt folket tilbake til Jerusalem. 

And the Lord sent Nathan to David. And Nathan came to him and said, There were two men in the same town: one a man of great wealth, and the other a poor man. 
The man of wealth had great numbers of flocks and herds; 
But the poor man had only one little she-lamb, which he had got and taken care of: from its birth it had been with him like one of his children; his meat was its food, and from his cup it took its drink, resting in his arms, and it was like a daughter to him. 
Now a traveller came to the house of the man of wealth, but he would not take anything from his flock or his herd to make a meal for the traveller who had come to him, but he took the poor man's lamb and made it ready for the man who had come. 
And David was full of wrath against that man; and he said to Nathan, By the living Lord, death is the right punishment for the man who has done this: 
And he will have to give back four times the value of the lamb, because he has done this and because he had no pity. 
And Nathan said to David, You are that man. The Lord God of Israel says, I made you king over Israel, putting holy oil on you, and I kept you safe from the hands of Saul; 
I gave you your master's daughter and your master's wives for yourself, and I gave you the daughters of Israel and Judah; and if that had not been enough, I would have given you such and such things. 
Why then have you had no respect for the word of the Lord, doing what is evil in his eyes? You have put Uriah the Hittite to death with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife; you have put him to death with the sword of the children of Ammon. 
So now the sword will never be turned away from your family; because you have had no respect for me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife. 
The Lord says, From those of your family I will send evil against you, and before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to your neighbour, and he will take your wives to his bed by the light of this sun. 
You did it secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel and in the light of the sun. 
And David said to Nathan, Great is my sin against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, The Lord has put away your sin; death will not come on you. 
But still, because you have had no respect for the Lord, death will certainly overtake the child who has newly come to birth. 
Then Nathan went back to his house. And the hand of the Lord was on David's son, the child of Uriah's wife, and it became very ill. 
So David made prayer to God for the child; and he took no food day after day, and went in and, stretching himself out on the earth, was there all night. 
And the chief men of his house got up and went to his side to make him get up from the earth, but he would not; and he would not take food with them. 
And then on the seventh day the child's death took place. And David's servants were in fear of giving him the news of the child's death: for they said, Truly, while the child was still living he gave no attention when we said anything to him: what will he do to himself if we give him word that the child is dead? 
But when David saw that his servants were talking together quietly, he was certain that the child was dead: and he said to his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, He is. 
Then David got up from the earth, and after washing and rubbing himself with oil and changing his clothing, he went into the house of the Lord and gave worship: then he went back to his house, and at his order they put food before him and he had a meal. 
Then his servants said to him, Why have you been acting in this way? you were weeping and going without food while the child was still living; but when the child was dead, you got up and had a meal. 
And he said, While the child was still living I went without food and gave myself up to weeping: for I said, Who is able to say that the Lord will not have mercy on me and give the child life? 
But now that the child is dead there is no reason for me to go without food; am I able to make him come back to life? I will go to him, but he will never come back to me. 
And David gave comfort to his wife Bath-sheba, and he went in to her and had connection with her: and she had a son to whom she gave the name Solomon. And he was dear to the Lord. 
And he sent word by Nathan the prophet, who gave him the name Jedidiah, by the word of the Lord. 
Now Joab was fighting against Rabbah, in the land of the children of Ammon, and he took the water-town. 
And Joab sent men to David, saying, I have made war against Rabbah and have taken the water-town. 
So now, get the rest of the people together, and put them in position against the town and take it, for if I take it, it will be named after my name. 
Then David got all the people together and went to Rabbah and made war on it and took it. 
And he took the crown of Milcom from his head; the weight of it was a talent of gold, and in it were stones of great price; and it was put on David's head. And he took a great store of goods from the town. 
And he took the people out of the town and put them to work with wood-cutting instruments, and iron grain-crushers, and iron axes, and at brick-making: this he did to all the towns of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people went back to Jerusalem.
