2 Samuel - ch 12 v 21 - 31
- Then said his servants to him, What thing is this that you have done? you did fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, you did rise and eat bread.
- He said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who knows whether Yahweh will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?
- But now he is dead, why should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.
- David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her: and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. Yahweh loved him;
- and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he named him Jedidiah, for Yahweh's sake.
- Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
- Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah; yes, I have taken the city of waters.
- 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.
- David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
- He took the crown of their king from off his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was set on David's head. He brought forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much.
- He brought forth the people who were therein, and put them under saws, and under iron picks, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick kiln: and he did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
