 12:12 For x3588 thou x859 diddest 6213 z8804 [it] secretly: 5643 but I x589 will do 6213 z8799 x853 this x2088 thing 1697 before x5048 all x3605 Israel, 3478 and before x5048 the Sunne. 8121

 12:13 And Dauid 1732 saide 559 z8799 vnto x413 Nathan, 5416 I haue sinned 2398 z8804 against the LORD. 3068 And Nathan 5416 saide 559 z8799 vnto x413 Dauid, 1732 The LORD 3068 also x1571 hath put away 5674 z8689 thy sinne, 2403 thou shalt not x3808 die. 4191 z8799

 12:14 Howbeit, 657 because x3588 by this x2088 deed 1697 thou hast given y5006 z0 great occasion 5006 z8763 x853 to the enemies 341 z8802 of the LORD 3068 to blaspheme, 5006 z8765 the child 1121 also x1571 [that is] born 3209 unto thee shall surely y4191 z8800 die. 4191 z8799

 12:15 ¶ And Nathan 5416 departed y3212 z8799 x1980 vnto x413 his house: 1004 and the LORD 3068 strake 5062 z8799 x853 the childe 3206 that x834 Uriahs 223 wife 802 bare 3205 z8804 vnto Dauid, 1732 and it was very sicke. 605 z8735

 12:16 Dauid 1732 therfore besought 1245 z8762 x853 God 430 for x1157 the childe, 5288 and Dauid 1732 fasted, 6684 6685 z8799 and went x935 in, y935 z8804 and lay 7901 z8804 all x3605 night 3885 z8804 vpon the earth. 776

 12:16 David 1732 therefore besought 1245 z8762 x853 God 430 for x1157 the child; 5288 and David 1732 fasted, 6684 6685 z8799 and went x935 in, y935 z8804 and lay 7901 z8804 all x3605 night 3885 z8804 upon the earth. 776

 12:17 And the Elders 2205 of his house 1004 arose, 6965 z8799 [and went] to x5921 him, to raise him vp 6965 z8687 from x4480 the earth: 776 but he would 14 z8804 not, x3808 neither x3808 did he eate 1262 z8804 bread 3899 with x854 them.

 12:18 And it came to passe x1961 on the seuenth 7637 day, 3117 that the childe 3206 died: 4191 z8799 and the seruants 5650 of Dauid 1732 feared 3372 z8799 to tell 5046 z8687 him that x3588 the child 3206 was dead: 4191 z8804 for x3588 they saide, 559 z8804 Behold, x2009 while the childe 3206 was x1961 yet aliue, 2416 we spake 1696 z8765 vnto x413 him, and he would not x3808 hearken 8085 z8804 vnto our voice: 6963 how x349 will he then y6213 z0 vexe 7451 x6213 himselfe, y6213 z8804 if we tell 559 z8799 x413 him that the childe 3206 is dead? 4191 z8804

 12:18 And it came to pass x1961 on the seventh 7637 day, 3117 that the child 3206 died. 4191 z8799 And the servants 5650 of David 1732 feared 3372 z8799 to tell 5046 z8687 him that x3588 the child 3206 was dead: 4191 z8804 for x3588 they said, 559 z8804 Behold, x2009 while the child 3206 was x1961 yet alive, 2416 we spake 1696 z8765 unto x413 him, and he would not x3808 hearken 8085 z8804 unto our voice: 6963 how x349 will he then y6213 z0 vex 7451 x6213 himself, y6213 z8804 if we tell 559 z8799 x413 him that the child 3206 is dead? 4191 z8804

 12:19 But when Dauid 1732 saw 7200 z8799 that x3588 his seruants 5650 whispered, 3907 z8693 Dauid 1732 perceiued 995 z8799 that x3588 the childe 3206 was dead: 4191 z8804 therefore Dauid 1732 said 559 z8799 vnto x413 his seruants, 5650 Is the child 3206 dead? 4191 z8804 and they said, 559 z8799 He is dead. 4191 z8804

 12:19 But when David 1732 saw 7200 z8799 that x3588 his servants 5650 whispered, 3907 z8693 David 1732 perceived 995 z8799 that x3588 the child 3206 was dead: 4191 z8804 therefore David 1732 said 559 z8799 unto x413 his servants, 5650 Is the child 3206 dead? 4191 z8804 And they said, 559 z8799 He is dead. 4191 z8804

 12:20 Then Dauid 1732 arose 6965 z8799 from the earth 776 x4480 and washed, 7364 z8799 and anointed 5480 z8686 [himselfe], and changed 2498 z8762 his apparell, 8071 and came 935 z8799 into the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 and worshipped: 7812 z8691 then hee came 935 z8799 to x413 his owne house, 1004 and when he required, 7592 z8799 they set 7760 z8799 bread 3899 before him, and he did eate. 398 z8799

 12:20 Then David 1732 arose 6965 z8799 from the earth, 776 x4480 and washed, 7364 z8799 and anointed 5480 z8686 [himself], and changed 2498 z8762 his apparel, 8071 and came 935 z8799 into the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 and worshipped: 7812 z8691 then he came 935 z8799 to x413 his own house; 1004 and when he required, 7592 z8799 they set 7760 z8799 bread 3899 before him, and he did eat. 398 z8799

 12:21 Then said 559 z8799 his seruants 5650 vnto x413 him, What x4100 thing 1697 [is] this x2088 that x834 thou hast done? 6213 z8804 thou didst fast 6684 z8804 and weepe 1058 z8799 for the childe, 3206 while x5668 it was aliue, 2416 but when x834 the childe 3206 was dead, 4191 z8804 thou didst rise 6965 z8804 and eat 398 z8799 bread. 3899

 12:21 Then said 559 z8799 his servants 5650 unto x413 him, What x4100 thing 1697 [is] this x2088 that x834 thou hast done? 6213 z8804 thou didst fast 6684 z8804 and weep 1058 z8799 for the child, 3206 [while x5668 it was] alive; 2416 but when x834 the child 3206 was dead, 4191 z8804 thou didst rise 6965 z8804 and eat 398 z8799 bread. 3899

 12:22 And he said, 559 z8799 While the child 3206 was yet x5750 aliue, 2416 I fasted 6684 z8804 and wept: 1058 z8799 for x3588 I said, 559 z8804 Who x4310 can tell, 3045 z8802 [whether] GOD 3068 will be gracious 2603 z8804 z8675 z8762 to me, that the child 3206 may liue? 2416

 12:22 And he said, 559 z8799 While the child 3206 was yet x5750 alive, 2416 I fasted 6684 z8804 and wept: 1058 z8799 for x3588 I said, 559 z8804 Who x4310 can tell 3045 z8802 [whether] GOD 3068 will be gracious 2603 z8804 z8675 z8762 to me, that the child 3206 may live? 2416

 12:23 But now x6258 hee is dead, 4191 z8804 Wherefore x4100 x2088 should I x589 fast? 6684 z8802 Can 3201 z8799 I bring him backe x7725 againe? y7725 z8687 x5750 I x589 shall goe 1980 z8802 to x413 him, but he x1931 shall not x3808 returne 7725 z8799 to x413 me.

 12:23 But now x6258 he is dead, 4191 z8804 wherefore x4100 x2088 should I x589 fast? 6684 z8802 can 3201 z8799 I bring him back x7725 again? y7725 z8687 x5750 I x589 shall go 1980 z8802 to x413 him, but he x1931 shall not x3808 return 7725 z8799 to x413 me.
