2 Samuel 11:2-9

2And it came to pass at eventide, that DavidH1732 aroseH6965 from off his bedH4904, and walkedH1980 upon the roofH1406 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004: and from the roofH1406 he sawH7200 a womanH802 bathingH7364; and the womanH802 wasH1961 veryH3966 beautiful to lookH7200 upon. 3And DavidH1732 sentH7971 and inquired after the womanH802. And one saidH559, Is not this Bath-sheba, the daughterH1323 of EliamH463, the wifeH802 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850? 4And DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397, and tookH3947 her; and she cameH935 in unto him, and he layH7901 with her (for she was purified from her uncleannessH2932); and she returnedH7725 unto her houseH1004. 5And the womanH802 conceivedH2029; and she sentH7971 and toldH5046 DavidH1732, and saidH559, I am with child.

6And DavidH1732 sentH7971 to JoabH3097, saying, SendH7971 me UriahH223 the HittiteH2850. And JoabH3097 sentH7971 UriahH223 to DavidH1732. 7And when UriahH223 was comeH935 unto him, DavidH1732 askedH7592 of him how JoabH3097 did, and how the peopleH5971 fared, and how the warH4421 prospered. 8And DavidH1732 saidH559 to UriahH223, GoH3318 down to thy houseH1004, and washH7364 thy feetH7272. And UriahH223 departed out of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and there followed him a mess of food from the kingH4428. 9But UriahH223 slept at the doorH6607 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004 with all the servantsH5650 of his lordH113, and wentH3381 not downH3381 to his houseH1004.
