1 Then the LORD sent Nathan to David. And he came to him and said, "There were two men in one city, the one rich and the other poor.

2 Samuel 12:5

5 Then David's anger burned greatly against the man, and he said to Nathan, "As the LORD lives, surely the man who has done this deserves to die.

2 Samuel 12:9

9 'Why have you despised the word of the LORD by doing evil in His sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword, have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the sons of Ammon.

22 He said, "While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, 'Who knows, the LORD may be gracious to me, that the child may live.'

2 Samuel 12:24

24 Then David comforted his wife Bathsheba, and went in to her and lay with her; and she gave birth to a son, and he named him Solomon. Now the LORD loved him

2 Samuel 12:25

25 and sent word through Nathan the prophet, and he named him Jedidiah for the LORD'S sake.

2 Samuel 14:11

11 Then she said, "Please let the king remember the LORD your God, so that the avenger of blood will not continue to destroy, otherwise they will destroy my son." And he said, "As the LORD lives, not one hair of your son shall fall to the ground."

2 Samuel 14:17

17 "Then your maidservant said, 'Please let the word of my lord the king be comforting, for as the angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and evil. And may the LORD your God be with you.' "

2 Samuel 15:7

7 Now it came about at the end of forty years that Absalom said to the king, "Please let me go and pay my vow which I have vowed to the LORD , in Hebron.

2 Samuel 15:8

8 "For your servant vowed a vow while I was living at Geshur in Aram, saying, 'If the LORD shall indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD .' "

21 But Ittai answered the king and said, "As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely wherever my lord the king may be, whether for death or for life, there also your servant will be."

2 Samuel 15:25

25 The king said to Zadok, "Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the sight of the LORD , then He will bring me back again and show me both it and His habitation.

31 Now someone told David, saying, "Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom." And David said, "O LORD , I pray, make the counsel of Ahithophel foolishness."

2 Samuel 16:8

8 "The LORD has returned upon you all the bloodshed of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned; and the LORD has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. And behold, you are taken in your own evil, for you are a man of bloodshed!"

2 Samuel 16:10

10 But the king said, "What have I to do with you, O sons of Zeruiah? If he curses, and if the LORD has told him, 'Curse David,' then who shall say, 'Why have you done so?' "

2 Samuel 16:11

11 Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, "Behold, my son who came out from me seeks my life; how much more now this Benjamite? Let him alone and let him curse, for the LORD has told him.

2 Samuel 16:12

12 "Perhaps the LORD will look on my affliction and return good to me instead of his cursing this day."

2 Samuel 16:18

18 Then Hushai said to Absalom, "No! For whom the LORD , this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his I will be, and with him I will remain.

2 Samuel 17:14

14 Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, "The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel." For the LORD had ordained to thwart the good counsel of Ahithophel, so that the LORD might bring calamity on Absalom.

2 Samuel 18:19

19 Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, "Please let me run and bring the king news that the LORD has freed him from the hand of his enemies."

2 Samuel 18:28

28 Ahimaaz called and said to the king, "All is well." And he prostrated himself before the king with his face to the ground. And he said, "Blessed is the LORD your God, who has delivered up the men who lifted their hands against my lord the king."

2 Samuel 18:31

31 Behold, the Cushite arrived, and the Cushite said, "Let my lord the king receive good news, for the LORD has freed you this day from the hand of all those who rose up against you."

2 Samuel 19:7

7 "Now therefore arise, go out and speak kindly to your servants, for I swear by the LORD , if you do not go out, surely not a man will pass the night with you, and this will be worse for you than all the evil that has come upon you from your youth until now."

2 Samuel 19:21

21 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah said, "Should not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD'S anointed?"

2 Samuel 20:19

19 "I am of those who are peaceable and faithful in Israel. You are seeking to destroy a city, even a mother in Israel. Why would you swallow up the inheritance of the LORD ?"

2 Samuel 21:1

1 Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David sought the presence of the LORD . And the LORD said, "It is for Saul and his bloody house, because he put the Gibeonites to death."

2 Samuel 21:3

3 Thus David said to the Gibeonites, "What should I do for you? And how can I make atonement that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD ?"

2 Samuel 21:6

6 let seven men from his sons be given to us, and we will hang them before the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD ." And the king said, "I will give them."

2 Samuel 21:7

7 But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the oath of the LORD which was between them, between David and Saul's son Jonathan.

2 Samuel 21:9

9 Then he gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the mountain before the LORD , so that the seven of them fell together; and they were put to death in the first days of harvest at the beginning of barley harvest.

2 Samuel 22:1

1 And David spoke the words of this song to the LORD in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.

2 Samuel 22:2

2 He said, "The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;

2 Samuel 22:4

4 "I call upon the LORD , who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies.

2 Samuel 22:7

7 "In my distress I called upon the LORD , Yes, I cried to my God; And from His temple He heard my voice, And my cry for help came into His ears.

2 Samuel 22:14

14 "The LORD thundered from heaven, And the Most High uttered His voice.

2 Samuel 22:16

16 "Then the channels of the sea appeared, The foundations of the world were laid bare By the rebuke of the LORD , At the blast of the breath of His nostrils.

2 Samuel 22:19

19 "They confronted me in the day of my calamity, But the LORD was my support.

2 Samuel 22:21

21 "The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.

2 Samuel 22:22

22 "For I have kept the ways of the LORD , And have not acted wickedly against my God.

2 Samuel 22:25

25 "Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness before His eyes.

2 Samuel 22:29

29 "For You are my lamp, O LORD ; And the LORD illumines my darkness.

2 Samuel 22:31

31 "As for God, His way is blameless; The word of the LORD is tested; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

2 Samuel 22:32

32 "For who is God, besides the LORD ? And who is a rock, besides our God?

2 Samuel 22:42

42 "They looked, but there was none to save; Even to the LORD , but He did not answer them.

2 Samuel 22:47

47 "The LORD lives, and blessed be my rock; And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,

2 Samuel 22:50

50 "Therefore I will give thanks to You, O LORD , among the nations, And I will sing praises to Your name.

2 Samuel 23:2

2 "The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, And His word was on my tongue.

2 Samuel 23:10

10 He arose and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary and clung to the sword, and the LORD brought about a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to strip the slain.

2 Samuel 23:12

12 But he took his stand in the midst of the plot, defended it and struck the Philistines; and the LORD brought about a great victory.

2 Samuel 23:16

16 So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water from the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless he would not drink it, but poured it out to the LORD ;

2 Samuel 23:17

17 and he said, "Be it far from me, O LORD , that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives?" Therefore he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did.

2 Samuel 24:1

1 Now again the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and it incited David against them to say, "Go, number Israel and Judah."

2 Samuel 24:3

3 But Joab said to the king, "Now may the LORD your God add to the people a hundred times as many as they are, while the eyes of my lord the king still see; but why does my lord the king delight in this thing?"

2 Samuel 24:10

10 Now David's heart troubled him after he had numbered the people. So David said to the LORD , "I have sinned greatly in what I have done. But now, O LORD , please take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have acted very foolishly."

2 Samuel 24:11

11 When David arose in the morning, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,

2 Samuel 24:12

12 "Go and speak to David, 'Thus the LORD says, "I am offering you three things; choose for yourself one of them, which I will do to you.""'

2 Samuel 24:14

14 Then David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Let us now fall into the hand of the LORD for His mercies are great, but do not let me fall into the hand of man."

2 Samuel 24:15

15 So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning until the appointed time, and seventy thousand men of the people from Dan to Beersheba died.

2 Samuel 24:16

16 When the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented from the calamity and said to the angel who destroyed the people, "It is enough! Now relax your hand!" And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

2 Samuel 24:17

17 Then David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who was striking down the people, and said, "Behold, it is I who have sinned, and it is I who have done wrong; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let Your hand be against me and against my father's house."

2 Samuel 24:18

18 So Gad came to David that day and said to him, "Go up, erect an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite."

2 Samuel 24:19

19 David went up according to the word of Gad, just as the LORD had commanded.

2 Samuel 24:21

21 Then Araunah said, "Why has my lord the king come to his servant?" And David said, "To buy the threshing floor from you, in order to build an altar to the LORD , that the plague may be held back from the people."

2 Samuel 24:23

23 "Everything, O king, Araunah gives to the king." And Araunah said to the king, "May the LORD your God accept you."

2 Samuel 24:24

24 However, the king said to Araunah, "No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price, for I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God which cost me nothing." So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

2 Samuel 24:25

25 David built there an altar to the LORD and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. Thus the LORD was moved by prayer for the land, and the plague was held back from Israel.
