10:012:003 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.

10:012:004 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.

10:012:005 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: 

10:012:006 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this
           thing, and because he had no pity.

10:012:007 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;

10:012:008 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.

10:012:009 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.

10:012:010 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.

10:012:011 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.

10:012:012 For thou didst it secretly:  but I will do this thing before
           all Israel, and before the sun.

10:012:013 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.

10:012:014 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion
           to the enemies of the lord to blaspheme, the child also that
           is born unto thee shall surely die.

10:012:015 And Nathan departed unto his house.  And the lord struck the
           child that Uriah’s wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.
