2 Samuel 11:1-4

1And it cameH1961 to passH1961, at the returnH8666 of the yearH8141, at the time when kingsH4428 goH3318 outH3318 to battle, that DavidH1732 sentH7971 JoabH3097, and his servantsH5650 with him, and allH3605 IsraelH3478; and they destroyedH7843 the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and besieged RabbahH7237. But DavidH1732 tarried at JerusalemH3389.

2And it cameH1961 to passH1961 at eventide, that DavidH1732 aroseH6965 from offH5921 his bedH4904, and walkedH1980 uponH5921 the roofH1406 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004: and from the roofH1406 he sawH7200 a womanH802 bathingH7364; and the womanH802 was veryH3966 beautifulH4758 to lookH7200 uponH5921.

3And DavidH1732 sentH7971 and inquiredH1875 afterH1875 the womanH802. And one saidH559, Is notH3808 this Bath-sheba, the daughterH1323 of EliamH463, the wifeH802 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850?

4And DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397, and tookH3947 herH413; and sheH1931 cameH935 in unto him, and he layH7901 with herH413; (for sheH1931 was purifiedH6942 from herH413 uncleannessH2932;) and sheH1931 returnedH7725 unto herH413 houseH1004.
