So while Joab was watching the town, he put Uriah in the place where it was clear to him the best fighters were.

וַיְהִ֕י (וַ) va “and”וַיִּתֵּן֙ (וַ) va “and”

And the men of the town went out and had a fight with Joab: and a number of David's men came to their death in the fight, and with them Uriah the Hittite.

וַיֵּ֨צְא֜וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּלָּחֲמ֣וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּפֹּ֥ל (וַ) va “and”וַיָּ֕מָת (וַ) va “and”

Then Joab sent David news of everything which had taken place in the war:

וַיִּשְׁלַ֖ח (וַ) va “and”וַיַּגֵּ֣ד (וַ) va “and”

And he gave orders to the man who took the news, saying, After you have given the king all the news about the war,

וַיְצַ֥ו (וַ) va “and”

If the king is angry and says, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall?

וְהָיָ֗ה (וְ) ve. “and”וְאָמַ֣ר (וְ) ve. “and”

Who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall? Then say to him, Your servant Uriah the Hittite is among the dead.

וַיָּ֣מָת (וַ) va “and”וְאָ֣מַרְתָּ֔ (וְ) ve. “and”

So the man went, and came to David, and gave him all the news which Joab had sent him to give; then David was angry with Joab and said, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall? who put Abi

וַיֵּ֖לֶךְ (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבֹא֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיַּגֵּ֣ד (וַ) va “and”

And the man said to David, Truly the men got the better of us, and came out against us into the open country, but we sent them back to the very doors of the town.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּצְא֥וּ (וַ) va “and”וַנִּהְיֶ֥ה (וַ) va. “and”

And the archers sent their arrows at your servants from the wall, and some of the king's servants are dead, and among them is your servant Uriah the Hittite.

וַיֹּר֨וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיָּמ֖וּתוּ (וַ) va “and”

Then David said to the man, Go and say to Joab, Do not let this be a grief to you; for one man may come to his death by the sword like another: put up an even stronger fight against the town, and take it: and do you put heart into him.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And when the wife of Uriah had news that her husband was dead, she gave herself up to weeping for him.

וַתִּשְׁמַע֙ (וַ) va. “and”וַתִּסְפֹּ֖ד (וַ) va. “and”

And when the days of weeping were past, David sent for her, and took her into his house, and she became his wife and gave him a son. But the Lord was not pleased with the thing David had done.

וַיַּעֲבֹ֣ר (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשְׁלַ֨ח (וַ) va “and”וַיַּאַסְפָ֤הּ (וַ) va “and”וַתְּהִי־ (וַ) va. “and”וַתֵּ֥לֶד (וַ) va. “and”וַיֵּ֧רַע (וַ) va “and”

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.

וַיִּשְׁלַ֧ח (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבֹ֣א (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיְחַיֶּ֕הָ (וַ) va “and”וַתִּגְדַּ֥ל (וַ) va. “and”וַתְּהִי־ (וַ) va. “and”

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.

וַיָּ֣בֹא (וַ) va “and”וַיַּחְמֹ֗ל (וַ) va “and”וַיִּקַּ֗ח (וַ) va “and”וַֽיַּעֲשֶׂ֔הָ (וַֽ) va “and”

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:

וַיִּֽחַר־ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ (וַ) va “and”

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;

וַיֹּ֧אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

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.

וָאֶתְּנָ֨ה (וָ) va. “and”וָאֶתְּנָ֣ה (וָ) va. “and”

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.

וַתִּקַּ֗ח (וַ) va. “and”

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.

וְלָקַחְתִּ֤י (וְ) ve. “and”וְנָתַתִּ֖י (וְ) ve. “and”וְשָׁכַב֙ (וְ) ve. “and”

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.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

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.

וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּגֹּ֣ף (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּאָנַֽשׁ׃ (וַ) va “and”

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.

וַיְבַקֵּ֥שׁ (וַ) va “and”וַיָּ֤צָם (וַ) va “and”וּבָ֥א (וּ) u. “and”וְלָ֖ן (וְ) ve. “and”וְשָׁכַ֥ב (וְ) ve. “and”

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.

וַיָּקֻ֜מוּ (וַ) va “and”

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 h
