Now these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

In accordance with all these words and all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

King David also dedicated these to the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated from all the nations which he had subdued:

I also gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your care, and I gave you the house of Israel and Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have added to you many more things like these!

These things Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did, and had a name as well as the three mighty men.

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.”
