2 Samuel 11:2-9

2One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of his palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. Now this woman was very attractive.

3So David sent someone to inquire about the woman. The messenger said, “Isn’t this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?”

4David sent some messengers to get her. She came to him and he had sexual relations with her. (Now at that time she was in the process of purifying herself from her menstrual uncleanness.) Then she returned to her home.

5The woman conceived and then sent word to David saying, “I’m pregnant.”

6So David sent a message to Joab that said, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” So Joab sent Uriah to David.

7When Uriah came to him, David asked about how Joab and the army were doing and how the campaign was going.

8Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your home and relax.” When Uriah left the palace, the king sent a gift to him.

9But Uriah stayed at the door of the palace with all the servants of his lord. He did not go down to his house.
