2 Samuel 11:2-12
2Now at eveningH6153 timeH6256 DavidH1732 gotH6965 upH6965 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 servants and inquiredH1875 about the womanH802. And someone saidH559, “Is thisH2088 not 2BathshebaH1339, the daughterH1323 of EliamH463, the wifeH802 of 3UriahH223 the HittiteH2850?” 4Then DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397 and 4had her broughtH3947, and when she cameH935 to him, 5he sleptH7901 with her; 6and when she had purifiedH6942 herself from her uncleannessH2932, she returnedH7725 to her houseH1004. 5But the womanH802 conceivedH2029; so she sentH7971 word and informedH5046 DavidH1732, and saidH559, “7I am pregnantH2030.”
6Then DavidH1732 sentH7971 word to JoabH3097: “SendH7971 me UriahH223 the HittiteH2850.” So JoabH3097 sentH7971 UriahH223 to DavidH1732. 7When UriahH223 cameH935 to him, 8DavidH1732 askedH7592 about Joab’sH3097 well-beingH7965 and 9that of the peopleH5971, and the conditionH7965 of the warH4421. 8Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to UriahH223, “GoH3381 downH3381 to your houseH1004, and 10washH7364 your feetH7272.” So UriahH223 leftH3318 the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and a giftH4864 from the kingH4428 11was sentH3318 afterH310 him. 9But UriahH223 sleptH7901 12at 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 informedH5046 DavidH1732, sayingH559, “UriahH223 did not goH3381 downH3381 to his houseH1004,” DavidH1732 saidH559 to UriahH223, “Did you not comeH935 from a journeyH1870? WhyH4069 did you not goH3381 downH3381 to your houseH1004?” 11And UriahH223 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “13The arkH727 and IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063 are stayingH3427 in 14temporaryH5521 sheltersH5521, and my lordH113 JoabH3097 and 15the servantsH5650 of my lordH113 are campingH2583 in the openH6440 fieldH7704. Should I then goH935 to my houseH1004 to eatH398 and drinkH8354 and to sleepH7901 with my wifeH802? By your lifeH2416 and the lifeH2416 of your soulH5315, I will not doH6213 thisH2088 thingH1697.” 12Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to UriahH223, “16StayH3427 hereH2088 todayH3117 alsoH1571, and tomorrowH4279 I will letH7971 you go back.” So UriahH223 remainedH3427 in JerusalemH3389 that dayH3117 and the dayH4283 afterH4283.
