And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor. 1Ki 20:35-41Psa 51:1-191Ki 13:11Ki 18:12Ki 1:32Sa 11:10-172Sa 11:252Sa 14:14 The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds: 2Sa 12:82Sa 15:162Sa 3:2-52Sa 5:13-16Job 1:3 But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter. 1 2Sa 11:3Mic 7:5Deu 13:6Pro 5:18-19 And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man’s lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him. Jas 1:142Sa 11:3-4Gen 18:2-7 And David’s anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die: 2 1Sa 26:16Gen 38:24Rom 2:11Sa 25:21-22Luk 6:41-421Sa 14:391Sa 20:31Luk 9:55 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.

¶ And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; 1Sa 16:13Mat 14:142Sa 22:11Ki 18:181Ki 20:421Sa 13:131Sa 15:171Sa 18:21 And I gave thee thy master’s house, and thy master’s wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things. Psa 84:112Sa 9:7Rom 8:322Sa 12:112Sa 2:42Sa 5:52Sa 7:191Sa 15:19 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. 1Sa 15:19Psa 90:81Sa 15:23Amo 2:4Jer 18:10Psa 139:1-22Sa 11:4Exo 20:13-14 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. 2Sa 18:14-15Mat 26:52Rom 2:41Ki 2:23-251Sa 2:301Th 4:82Sa 13:28-292Sa 18:33 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. 2Sa 16:21-22Deu 28:302Sa 13:1-142Sa 13:28-292Sa 15:102Sa 15:6Ezk 14:9Ezk 20:25-26 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun. 1Co 4:52Sa 16:22Ecc 12:14Luk 12:1-22Sa 11:4-15 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.

¶ And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife bare unto David, and it was very sick. 1Sa 25:38Psa 104:291Sa 26:102Ch 13:202Ki 15:5Act 12:23Deu 32:39 David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth. 3 2Sa 13:311Ki 21:272Sa 12:22Act 9:9Est 4:16Isa 22:12Jon 3:9Psa 50:15 And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them. 2Sa 3:351Sa 28:23 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead? 4 Num 20:15 But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead. Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat. Job 1:20Rut 3:3Lam 3:39-412Sa 7:18Ecc 9:8Job 2:10Mat 6:172Sa 6:17 Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread. 1Co 2:15 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live? Isa 38:1-3Isa 38:5Jon 3:9-10Jol 1:14Jol 2:14Jon 1:6Amo 5:15Jas 4:9-10 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.

¶ And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city. 1Ch 20:1-3Deu 3:112Sa 11:25 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters. 2Sa 11:1Deu 3:11Ezk 21:20 Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name. 6 Jhn 7:18 And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it. And he took their king’s crown from off his head, the weight whereof was a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was set on David’s head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance. 7 1Ch 20:2 And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem. 1Ch 20:32Sa 8:2Amo 1:3Psa 21:8-9
