2 Samuel 11:2-9

2One evening David rose from his bed and strolled on the roof of the royal palace. Then from the roof he saw a woman washing—a very beautiful woman.

3So David sent someone to inquire about the woman, and he reported, “Isn’t this Bath-sheba, daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?”

4Then David sent messengers and took her when she came to him, and he lay with her. (She had purified herself from her uncleanness). Then she returned to her house.

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

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

7When Uriah came to him, David asked him how Joab was, how the troops fared, and how the war was going.

8Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” When Uriah left the royal palace, a present from the king followed him.

9But Uriah slept at the door of the royal palace with all his master’s servants, and did not go down to his house.
