Löydetty 985 Tulokset: David's Story
He told David: "The men had us at a disadvantage and came out into the open against us, but we pushed them back to the entrance of the city gate. (2 Samuel 11, 23)
David said to the messenger: "This is what you shall convey to Joab: 'Do not be chagrined at this, for the sword devours now here and now there. Strengthen your attack on the city and destroy it.' Encourage him." (2 Samuel 11, 25)
But once the mourning was over, David sent for her and brought her into his house. She became his wife and bore him a son. But the LORD was displeased with what David had done. (2 Samuel 11, 27)
The LORD sent Nathan to David, and when he came to him, he said: "Judge this case for me! In a certain town there were two men, one rich, the other poor. (2 Samuel 12, 1)
David grew very angry with that man and said to Nathan: "As the LORD lives, the man who has done this merits death! (2 Samuel 12, 5)
Then Nathan said to David: "You are the man! Thus says the LORD God of Israel: 'I anointed you king of Israel. I rescued you from the hand of Saul. (2 Samuel 12, 7)
Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD." Nathan answered David: "The LORD on his part has forgiven your sin: you shall not die. (2 Samuel 12, 13)
Then Nathan returned to his house. The LORD struck the child that the wife of Uriah had borne to David, and it became desperately ill. (2 Samuel 12, 15)
David besought God for the child. He kept a fast, retiring for the night to lie on the ground clothed in sackcloth. (2 Samuel 12, 16)
On the seventh day, the child died. David's servants, however, were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said: "When the child was alive, we spoke to him, but he would not listen to what we said. How can we tell him the child is dead? He may do some harm!" (2 Samuel 12, 18)
But David noticed his servants whispering among themselves and realized that the child was dead. He asked his servants, "Is the child dead?" They replied, "Yes, he is." (2 Samuel 12, 19)
Rising from the ground, David washed and anointed himself, and changed his clothes. Then he went to the house of the LORD and worshiped. He returned to his own house, where at his request food was set before him, and he ate. (2 Samuel 12, 20)
