Brenton's Septuagint (LXX) - Holy Name KJV

 12:1 ¶ And the Lord sent Nathan the prophet to David; and he went in to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city, one rich and the other poor.

 12:1 ¶ And Yahwehº sentººº Nathanº untoº David.º And he cameºº untoº him, and saidºº unto him, There wereº twoº menºº in oneº city;º the oneº rich,º and the otherº poor.ºº

 12:2 And the rich [man] had very many flocks and herds.

 12:2 The richº [man] hadº exceedingº manyºº flocksº and herds:º

 12:3 But the poor [man had] only one little ewe lamb, which he had purchased, and preserved, and reared; an it grew up with himself and his children in common; it ate of his bread and drank of his cup, and slept in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter.

 12:3 But the poorºº [man] had nothing,ºº saveºº oneº littleº ewe lamb,º whichº he hadº boughtºº and nourished up:ºº and it grew upºº togetherº withº him, and withº his children;º it did eatºº of his own meat,ºº and drankºº of his own cup,ºº and layºº in his bosom,º and wasº unto him as a daughter.º

 12:4 And a traveller came to the rich man, and he spared to take of his flocks and of his herds, to dress for the traveller that came to him; and he took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that came to him.

 12:4 And there cameºº a travellerº unto the richº man,º and he sparedºº to takeºº of his own flockºº and of his own herd,ºº to dressºº for the wayfaring manºº that was comeºº unto him; but tookºº the poorºº man'sºº lamb,º and dressedºº it for the manº that was comeºº toº him.

 12:5 And David was greatly moved with anger against the man; and David said to Nathan, [As] the Lord lives, the man that did this thing shall surely die.

 12:5 And David'sº angerº was greatlyº kindledºº against the man;º and he saidºº toº Nathan,º [As] Yahwehº liveth,º the manº that hath doneºº thisº [thing] shall surelyº die:ººº

 12:6 And he shall restore the lamb seven-fold, because he has not spared.

 12:6 And he shall restoreºº the lambº fourfold,º becauseºº he didººº thisº thing,º and becauseºº he had noº pity.ºº

 12:7 ¶ And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man that has done this. Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I anointed thee to be king over Israel, and I rescued thee out the hand of Saul;

 12:7 ¶ And Nathanº saidºº toº David,º Thouº [art] the man.º Thusº saithºº Yahwehº Elohimº of Israel,º Iº anointedºº thee kingº overº Israel,º and Iº deliveredºº thee out of the handºº of Saul;º

 12:8 and I gave thee the house of thy lord, and the wives of thy lord into thy bosom, and I gave to thee the house of Israel and Judah{gr.Juda}; and if that had been little, I would have given thee yet more.

 12:8 And I gaveºº theeº thy adon'sº house,º and thy adon'sº wivesº into thy bosom,º and gaveºº theeº the houseº of Israelº and of Judah;º and ifº [that had been] too little,º I would moreover have givenºº unto thee suchº and suchº things.º

 12:9 Why hast thou set at nought the word of the Lord, to do that which is evil in his eyes? thou hast slain Uriah{gr.Urias} the Hittite{gr.Chettite} with the sword, and thou hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and thou hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

 12:9 Whereforeº hast thou despisedººº the commandmentº of Yahweh,º to doºº evilº in his sight?º thou hast killedººº Uriahº the Hittiteº with the sword,º and hast takenºº his wifeº [to be] thy wife,º and hast slainºº him with the swordº of the childrenº of Ammon.º

 12:10 Now therefore the sword shall not depart from thy house for ever, because thou has set me at nought, and thou hast taken the wife of Uriah{gr.Urias} the Hittite{gr.Chettite}, to be thy wife.

 12:10 Nowº therefore the swordº shall neverººº departºº from thine house;ºº becauseºº thou hast despisedºº me, and hast takenººº the wifeº of Uriahº the Hittiteº to beº thy wife.º

 12:11 Thus says the Lord, Behold, I will raise up against thee evil out of thy house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and will give them to thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.

 12:11 Thusº saithºº Yahweh,º Behold,º I will raise upºº evilº againstº thee out of thine own house,ºº and I will takeººº thy wivesº before thine eyes,º and giveºº [them] unto thy neighbour,º and he shall lieºº withº thy wivesº in the sightº of thisº sun.º

 12:12 For thou didst it secretly, but I will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and before the sun.

 12:12 Forº thouº didstºº [it] secretly:º but Iº will doººº thisº thingº beforeº allº Israel,º and beforeº the sun.º

 12:13 And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, And the Lord has put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.

 12:13 And Davidº saidºº untoº Nathan,º I have sinnedºº against Yahweh.º And Nathanº saidºº untoº David,º Yahwehº alsoº hath put awayºº thy sin;º thou shalt notº die.ºº

 12:14 Only because thou hast given great occasion of provocation to the enemies of the Lord by this thing, thy son also that is born to thee shall surely die.

 12:14 Howbeit,º becauseº by thisº deedº thou hast givenºº great occasionººº to the enemiesºº of Yahwehº to blaspheme,ºº the childº alsoº [that is] bornº unto thee shall surelyºº die.ºº

 12:15 ¶ And Nathan departed to his house. And the Lord smote the child, which the wife of Uriah{gr.Urias} the Hittite{gr.Chettite} bore to David, and it was ill.

 12:15 ¶ And Nathanº departedººº untoº his house.º And Yahwehº struckººº the childº thatº Uriah'sº wifeº bareºº unto David,º and it was very sick.ºº

 12:16 And David enquired of God concerning the child, and David fasted, and went in and lay all night upon the ground.

 12:16 Davidº therefore besoughtººº Elohimº forº the child;º and Davidº fasted,ººº and wentº in,ºº and layºº allº nightºº upon the earth.º

 12:17 And the elders of his house arose [and went] to him to raise him up from the ground, but he would not [rise], nor did he eat bread with them.

 12:17 And the eldersº of his houseº arose,ºº [and went] toº him, to raise him upºº fromº the earth:º but he wouldºº not,º neitherº did he eatºº breadº withº them.

 12:18 And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died: and the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive we spoke to him, and he hearkened not to our voice; and thou should we tell him that the child is dead?-- so would he do [himself] harm.

 12:18 And it came to passº on the seventhº day,º that the childº died.ºº And the servantsº of Davidº fearedºº to tellºº him thatº the childº was dead:ºº forº they said,ºº Behold,º while the childº wasº yet alive,º we spakeºº untoº him, and he would notº hearkenºº unto our voice:º howº will he thenºº vexºº himself,ºº if we tellººº him that the childº is dead?ºº

 12:19 And David understood that his servants were whispering, and David perceived that the child was dead: and David said to his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, He is dead.

 12:19 But when Davidº sawºº thatº his servantsº whispered,ºº Davidº perceivedºº thatº the childº was dead:ºº therefore Davidº saidºº untoº his servants,º Is the childº dead?ºº And they said,ºº He is dead.ºº

 12:20 Then David rose up from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his raiment, and went into the house of God, and worshipped him; and went into his own house, and called for bread to eat, and they set bread before him and he ate.

 12:20 Then Davidº aroseºº from the earth,ºº and washed,ºº and anointedºº [himself], and changedºº his apparel,º and cameºº into the houseº of Yahweh,º and worshipped:ºº then he cameºº toº his own house;º and when he required,ºº they setºº breadº before him, and he did eat.ºº

 12:21 And his servants said to him, What [is] this thing that thou hast done concerning the child? while it was yet living thou didst fast, and weep, and watch: and when the child was dead thou didst rise up, and didst eat bread, and drink.

 12:21 Then saidºº his servantsº untoº him, Whatº thingº [is] thisº thatº thou hast done?ºº thou didst fastºº and weepºº for the child,º [whileº it was] alive;º but whenº the childº was dead,ºº thou didst riseºº and eatºº bread.º

 12:22 And David said, While the child yet lived, I fasted and wept; for I said, Who knows if the Lord will pity me, and the child live?

 12:22 And he said,ºº While the childº was yetº alive,º I fastedºº and wept:ºº forº I said,ºº Whoº can tellºº [whether] Yahwehº will be graciousºººº to me, that the childº may live?º

 12:23 But now it is dead, why should I fast thus? shall I be able to bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.

 12:23 But nowº he is dead,ºº whereforeºº should Iº fast?ºº canºº I bring him backº again?ººº Iº shall goºº toº him, but heº shall notº returnºº toº me.

 12:24 ¶ And David comforted Beersheba{gr.Bersabee} his wife, and he went in to her, and lay with her; and she conceived and bore a son, and he called his named Solomon, and the Lord loved him.

 12:24 ¶ And Davidº comfortedººº Bathshebaº his wife,º and wentº inºº untoº her, and layºº withº her: and she bareºº a son,º and he calledººº his nameº Solomon:º and Yahwehº lovedºº him.

 12:25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name Jeddedi, for the Lord's sake.

 12:25 And he sentºº by the handº of Nathanº the prophet;º and he calledººº his nameº Jedidiah,º becauseº of Yahweh.º

 12:26 ¶ And Joab fought against Rabbah{gr.Rabbath} of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.

 12:26 ¶ And Joabº foughtºº against Rabbahº of the childrenº of Ammon,º and tookººº the royalº city.º

 12:27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah{gr.Rabbath}, and taken the city of waters.

 12:27 And Joabº sentºº messengersº toº David,º and said,ºº I have foughtºº against Rabbah,º andº have takenººº the cityº of waters.º

 12:28 And now gather the rest of the people, and encamp against the city, an take it beforehand; lest I take the city first, and my name be called upon it.

 12:28 Nowº therefore gatherººº the restº of the peopleº together,ºº and encampºº againstº the city,º and takeºº it: lestº Iº takeººº the city,º and it be calledºº afterº my name.º

 12:31 And he brought forth the people that were in it, and put them under the saw, and under iron harrows, and axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus he did to all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
