2 Samuel 11:2-9

2One evening David got up from his bed and strolled around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing — a very beautiful woman.

3So David sent someone to inquire about her, and he said, “Isn’t this Bathsheba, daughter of Eliam and wife of Uriah the Hethite?”

4David sent messengers to get her, and when she came to him, he slept with her. Now she had just been purifying herself from her uncleanness. Afterward, she returned home.

5The woman conceived and sent word to inform David, “I am pregnant.”

6David sent orders to Joab: “Send me Uriah the Hethite.” So Joab sent Uriah to David.

7When Uriah came to him, David asked how Joab and the troops were doing and how the war was going.

8Then he said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” So Uriah left the palace, and a gift from the king followed him.

9But Uriah slept at the door of the palace with all his master’s servants; he did not go down to his house.
