2 Samuel 11:2-12

2Now when eveningH6153 cameH1961 DavidH1732 aroseH6965 from his bedH4904 and walkedH1980 aroundH1980 on 1the roofH1406 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and from the roofH1406 he sawH7200 a womanH802 bathingH7364; and the womanH802 was veryH3966 beautifulH2896 in appearanceH4758. 3So DavidH1732 sentH7971 and inquiredH1875 about the womanH802. And one saidH559, “Is thisH2088 not 2BathshebaH1339, the daughterH1323 of EliamH463, the wifeH802 of 3UriahH223 the HittiteH2850?” 4DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397 and tookH3947 her, and when she cameH935 to him, 4he layH7901 with her; 5and when she had purifiedH6942 herself from her uncleannessH2932, she returnedH7725 to her houseH1004. 5The womanH802 conceivedH2029; and she sentH7971 and toldH5046 DavidH1732, and saidH559, “6I amH2029 pregnantH2030.”

6Then DavidH1732 sentH7971 to JoabH3097, saying, “SendH7971 me UriahH223 the HittiteH2850.” So JoabH3097 sentH7971 UriahH223 to DavidH1732. 7When UriahH223 cameH935 to him, 7DavidH1732 askedH7592 concerning the welfareH7965 of JoabH3097 and 8the peopleH5971 and the stateH7965 of the warH4421. 8Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to UriahH223, “GoH3381 downH3381 to your houseH1004, and 9washH7364 your feetH7272.” And UriahH223 wentH3318 out of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and a presentH4864 from the kingH4428 10was sentH3318 out afterH310 him. 9But UriahH223 sleptH7901 11at the doorH6607 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004 with allH3605 the servantsH5650 of his lordH113, and did not goH3381 downH3381 to his houseH1004. 10Now when they toldH5046 DavidH1732, sayingH559, “UriahH223 did not goH3381 downH3381 to his houseH1004,” DavidH1732 saidH559 to UriahH223, “Have you not comeH935 from a journeyH1870? WhyH4069 did you not goH3381 downH3381 to your houseH1004?” 11UriahH223 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “12The arkH727 and IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063 are stayingH3427 in 13temporaryH5521 sheltersH5521, and my lordH113 JoabH3097 and 14the servantsH5650 of my lordH113 are campingH2583 in the openH6440 fieldH7704. Shall I then goH935 to my houseH1004 to eatH398 and to drinkH8354 and to lieH7901 with my wifeH802? By your lifeH2416 and the lifeH2416 of your soulH5315, I will not doH6213 thisH2088 thingH1697.” 12Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to UriahH223, “15StayH3427 hereH2088 todayH3117 alsoH1571, and tomorrowH4279 I will letH7971 you goH7971.” So UriahH223 remainedH3427 in JerusalemH3389 that dayH3117 and the 16nextH4283.
