2 Samuel 11:1-5
11Then it happened 23in the spring, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him and all Israel, and they brought destruction on the sons of Ammon and 4besieged Rabbah. But David stayed in Jerusalem.
2Now at evening time David got up from his bed and walked around on 5the roof of the king’s house, and from the roof he saw a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful in appearance. 3So David sent servants and inquired about the woman. And someone said, “Is this not 6Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of 7Uriah the Hittite?” 4Then David sent messengers and 8had her brought, and when she came to him, 9he slept with her; 10and when she had purified herself from her uncleanness, she returned to her house. 5But the woman conceived; so she sent word and informed David, and said, “11I am pregnant.”
