2 Samuel 11:2-12
2And it came to pass at eveningH6153 timeH6256 that DavidH1732 aroseH6965 from off his couch, and walkedH1980 upon the roofH1406 of the king's houseH1004; and from the roofH1406 he sawH7200 a womanH802 bathingH7364, and the womanH802 wasH1961 veryH3966 beautiful;
3and DavidH1732 sentH7971 and inquired after the womanH802. And one saidH559, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughterH1323 of EliamH463, the wifeH802 of Urijah the HittiteH2850?
4And DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397, and tookH3947 her; and she cameH935 in to him, and he layH7901 with her; and she had purified herself from her uncleannessH2932; and she returnedH7725 to her houseH1004.
5And the womanH802 conceivedH2029, and sentH7971 and toldH5046 DavidH1732, and saidH559, I am with child.
6And DavidH1732 sentH7971 to JoabH3097 [saying], SendH7971 me Urijah the HittiteH2850. And JoabH3097 sentH7971 Urijah to DavidH1732.
7And when Urijah had comeH935 to him, DavidH1732 askedH7592 how JoabH3097 prospered, and how the peopleH5971 prospered, and how the warH4421 prospered.
8And DavidH1732 saidH559 to Urijah, GoH3318 down to thy houseH1004 and washH7364 thy feetH7272. And Urijah departed out of the king's houseH1004, and there followed him presents from the kingH4428.
9And Urijah slept at the entranceH6607 of the king's houseH1004 with all the servantsH5650 of his lordH113, and wentH3381 not downH3381 to his houseH1004.
10And they had toldH5046 DavidH1732 sayingH559, Urijah did not goH935 down to his houseH1004; and DavidH1732 saidH559 to Urijah, Art thou not comeH935 from a journeyH1870? whyH4069 didst thou not goH935 down to thy houseH1004?
11And Urijah saidH559 to DavidH1732, The arkH727, and IsraelH3478, and JudahH3063 abide in boothsH5521; and my lordH113 JoabH3097, and the servantsH5650 of my lordH113, are encampedH2583 in the open fieldsH7704: shall I then goH935 into my houseH1004, to eatH398 and to drinkH8354, and to lieH7901 with my wifeH802? [As] thou livest, and [as] thy soulH5315 liveth, I will not do this thingH1697.
12And DavidH1732 saidH559 to Urijah, Abide hereH2088 to-day alsoH1571, and to-morrow I will let thee depart. And Urijah abode in JerusalemH3389 that dayH3117 and the morrow.
