H9005–/ל–l

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;

לְמֶ֙לֶךְ֙ (לְ) le. “to”

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.

לְךָ֜ (לְ) le. “to <the>”לְךָ֔ (לְ) le. “to <the>”לְּךָ֖ (לְּ) le. “to <the>”

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.

לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת (לַ) la. “by”לְּךָ֖ (לְּ) le. “for <the>”לְאִשָּׁ֑ה (לְ) le. “to”

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.

לִהְי֥וֹת (לִ) li “to”לְךָ֖ (לְ) le. “of”לְאִשָּֽׁה׃ (לְ) le. “<into>”

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.

לְעֵינֶ֔יךָ (לְ) le. “to”לְרֵעֶ֑יךָ (לְ) le. “to”לְעֵינֵ֖י (לְ) le. “to”

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.

לַֽיהוָ֑ה (לַֽ) la. “to”

But still, because you have had no respect for the Lord, death will certainly overtake the child who has newly come to birth.

לְךָ֖ (לְ) le. “to <the>”

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.

לְדָוִ֖ד (לְ) le. “to”

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.

לַהֲקִימ֖וֹ (לַ) la. “to”

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

לְהַגִּ֥יד (לְ) le. “to”ל֣וֹ׀ (ל֣) l “to <the>”

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.

ל֛וֹ (ל֛) l “for <the>”

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.

לָ֤מָּה (לָ֤) La. “<to>”לַהֲשִׁיב֖וֹ (לַ) la. “to”

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 Jeru

Now after this, it came about that Absalom, David's son, had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and David's son Amnon was in love with her.

וּלְאַבְשָׁל֧וֹם (לְ) le. “[belonged] to”

And he was so deeply in love that he became ill because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin, and so it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.

לְאַמְנ֜וֹן (לְ) le. “to”לְהִתְחַלּ֗וֹת (לְ) le. “to”לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת (לַ) la. “to”לָ֖הּ (לָ֖) la “to <the>”

But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother: and Jonadab was a very wise man.

וּלְאַמְנ֣וֹן (לְ) le. “[belonged] to”

And he said to him, O son of the king, why are you getting thinner day by day? will you not say what your trouble is? And Amnon said to him, I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.

ל֗וֹ (ל֗) l “to <the>”לִ֑י (לִ֑) L “to <the>”לוֹ֙ (ל) l “to <the>”

Then Jonadab said to him, Go to your bed, and let it seem that you are ill: and when your father comes to see you, say to him, Let my sister Tamar come and give me bread, and get the food ready before my eyes, so that I may see it and take it from her ha

לוֹ֙ (ל) l “to <the>”לִרְאוֹתֶ֗ךָ (לִ) li “to”לְעֵינַי֙ (לְ) le. “to”

So Amnon went to bed and made himself seem ill: and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, Please let my sister Tamar come and make me one or two cakes before my eyes, so that I may take food from her hand.

לִרְאֹת֗וֹ (לִ) li “to”לְעֵינַי֙ (לְ) le. “to”

Then David sent to the house for Tamar and said, Go now to your brother Amnon's house and get a meal for him.

לֵאמֹ֑ר (לֵ) le. “<to>”ל֖וֹ (ל֖) l “for <the>”

So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was in bed. And she took paste and made cakes before his eyes, cooking them over the fire.

לְעֵינָ֔יו (לְ) le. “to”

And she took the cooking-pot, and put the cakes before him, but he would not take them. And Amnon said, Let everyone go away from me. So they all went out.

לְפָנָ֔יו (לְ) le. “<to>”לֶאֱכ֑וֹל (לֶ) le. “to”

Then Amnon said to Tamar, Take the food and come into my bedroom, so that I may take it from your hand. So Tamar took the cakes she had made and went with them into her brother Amnon's bedroom.

לְאַמְנ֥וֹן (לְ) le. “to”

And when she took them to give them to him, he put his arms round her and said, Come to bed, my sister.

לֶֽאֱכֹ֑ל (לֶֽ) le. “to”לָ֔הּ (לָ֔) La “to <the>”

And answering him, she said, O my brother, do not put shame on me; it is not right for such a thing to be done in Israel: do not this evil thing.
