And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto YY , I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O YY , take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before YY , when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith YY .
Wherefore hast thou despised The Commandment of YY , to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriay-yahu 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.
Then said Abishai to David, Elohim hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time.
