2 Sam. 11:2‑27• ²And it came to pass at evening time that David arose from off his couch, and walked upon the roof of the king's house; and from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful;
³and David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urijah the Hittite?
⁴And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in to him, and he lay with her; and she had purified herself from her uncleanness; and she returned to her house.
⁵And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
⁶And David sent to Joab saying, Send me Urijah the Hittite. And Joab sent Urijah to David.
⁷And when Urijah had come to him, David asked how Joab prospered, and how the people prospered, and how the war prospered.
⁸And David said to Urijah, Go down to thy house and wash thy feet. And Urijah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him presents from the king.
⁹And Urijah slept at the entrance of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
¹⁰And they had told David saying, Urijah did not go down to his house; and David said to Urijah, Art thou not come from a journey? why didst thou not go down to thy house?
¹¹And Urijah said to David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah abide in booths; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields: shall I then go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? As thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.
¹²And David said to Urijah, Abide here to-day also, and to-morrow I will let thee depart. And Urijah abode in Jerusalem that day and the morrow.
¹³And David invited him, and he ate and drank before him; and he made him drunk. And in the evening he went out to lie on his couch with the servants of his lord, but did not go down to his house.
¹⁴And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by Urijah.
¹⁵And he wrote in the letter saying, Set Urijah in the front of the thickest fight, and withdraw from him, that he may be smitten and die.
¹⁶And it came to pass as Joab watched the city, that he assigned Urijah to a place where he knew that the valiant men were.
¹⁷And the men of the city went out and fought with Joab; and there fell some of the people, of the servants of David; and Urijah the Hittite died also.
¹⁸Then Joab sent and told David all the matters of the war;
¹⁹and charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast ended telling the matters of the war to the king,
²⁰and if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say to thee, Why did ye go so near to the city to fight? did ye not know that they would shoot from the wall?
²¹Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast the upper stone of a handmill from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why did ye go near the wall?--then say thou, Thy servant Urijah the Hittite is dead also.
²²And the messenger went; and he came and told David all that Joab had sent him for.
²³And the messenger said to David, The men prevailed against us, and came out against us into the field, and we were upon them as far as the entrance of the gate.
²⁴And the shooters shot from upon the wall against thy servants; and some of the king's servants are dead, and thy servant Urijah the Hittite is dead also.
²⁵Then David said to the messenger, Thus shalt thou say to Joab: Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devours one as well as another: make thy battle strong against the city, and overthrow it;--and encourage him.
²⁶And the wife of Urijah heard that Urijah her husband was dead, and she mourned for her husband.

2 Sam. 12:1‑15• ¹And Jehovah sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.
²The rich had very many flocks and herds;
³but the poor man had nothing at all, but one little ewe lamb which he had bought, and was nourishing; and it grew up with him, and together with his children: it ate of his morsel, and drank of his own cup, and slept in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter.
⁴And there came a traveller to the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that had come to him; and he took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that had come to him.
⁵Then David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As Jehovah liveth, the man that hath done this thing is worthy of death;
⁶and he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
⁷And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man! Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
⁸and 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.
⁹Wherefore hast thou despised the word of Jehovah to do evil in his sight? thou hast smitten Urijah 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.
¹⁰Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Urijah the Hittite to be thy wife.
¹¹Thus saith Jehovah: 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.
¹²For thou didst it secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel and before the sun.
¹³And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against Jehovah. And Nathan said to David, Jehovah has also put away thy sin: thou shalt not die.
¹⁴Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of Jehovah to blaspheme, even the child that is born to thee shall certainly die.
¹⁵And Nathan departed to his house. And Jehovah smote the child that Urijah's wife bore to David, and it became very sick. (2 Sam. 12:1‑15)

⁶and being come to the house, calls together the friends and the neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep.
⁷I say unto you, that thus there shall be joy in heaven for one repenting sinner, more than for ninety and nine righteous who have no need of repentance.
²²But the father said to his bondmen, Bring out the best robe and clothe him in it, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet;

²⁵And his elder son was in the field; and as, coming up, he drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.
²⁶And having called one of the servants, he inquired what these things might be.
²⁷And he said to him, Thy brother is come, and thy father has killed the fatted calf because he has received him safe and well.
²⁸But he became angry and would not go in. And his father went out and besought him.
²⁹But he answering said to his father, Behold, so many years I serve thee, and never have I transgressed a commandment of thine; and to me hast thou never given a kid that I might make merry with my friends:
³⁰but when this thy son, who has devoured thy substance with harlots, is come, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
³¹But he said to him, Child, *thou* art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine.
³²But it was right to make merry and rejoice, because this thy brother was dead and has come to life again, and was lost and has been found. (Luke 15:4‑7,22‑32)
