2 Samuel 11:2-9

2

One eveningH6153 DavidH1732 got upH6965 fromH5921 his bedH4904 and strolled aroundH1980 onH5921 the roofH1406 of the palaceH1004H4428. And fromH5921 the roofH1406 he sawH7200 a womanH802 bathingH7364—a veryH3966 beautifulH2896H4758 womanH802. 3So DavidH1732 sentH7971 and inquiredH1875 about the womanH802, and he was toldH559H3808, “ThisH2063 is BathshebaH1339, the daughterH1323 of EliamH4631 and the wifeH802 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850.”

4Then DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to get herH3947, and when she cameH935 to himH413, he sleptH7901 with herH5973. (Now sheH1931 had just purified herselfH6942 from her uncleannessH2932.) Then she returnedH7725H413 homeH1004. 5And the womanH802 conceivedH2029 and sent wordH7971H5046 to DavidH1732, sayingH559, “IH595 am pregnantH2030.”

6At this, DavidH1732 sent ordersH7971 toH413 JoabH3097: “SendH7971 meH413 UriahH223 the HittiteH2850.” So JoabH3097 sentH7971 him toH413 DavidH1732.

7When UriahH223 cameH935 to himH413, DavidH1732H7965 askedH7592 how JoabH3097 and the troopsH5971 were doingH7965 and how the warH4421 was goingH7965. 8ThenH1732 he saidH559 to UriahH223, “Go downH3381 to your houseH1004 and washH7364 your feetH7272.”

So UriahH223 leftH3318 the palaceH1004H4428, and a giftH4864 from the kingH4428 followedH3318 himH310. 9But UriahH223 sleptH7901 at the doorH6607 of the palaceH1004H4428 withH854 allH3605 his master’sH113 servantsH5650; he did notH3808 go downH3381 toH413 his houseH1004.
