2 Samuel  


11 : 1 In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab out with the king`s men and the whole Israelite army. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem.
11 : 2 One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful,
11 : 3 and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, "Isn`t this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite?"
11 : 4 Then David sent messengers to get her. She came to him, and he slept with her. (She had purified herself from her uncleanness.) Then she went back home.
11 : 5 The woman conceived and sent word to David, saying, "I am pregnant."
11 : 6 So David sent this word to Joab: "Send me Uriah the Hittite." And Joab sent him to David.
11 : 7 When Uriah came to him, David asked him how Joab was, how the soldiers were and how the war was going.
11 : 8 Then David said to Uriah, "Go down to your house and wash your feet." So Uriah left the palace, and a gift from the king was sent after him.
11 : 9 But Uriah slept at the entrance to the palace with all his master`s servants and did not go down to his house.
11 : 10 When David was told, "Uriah did not go home," he asked him, "Haven`t you just come from a distance? Why didn`t you go home?"
11 : 11 Uriah said to David, "The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in tents, and my master Joab and my lord`s men are camped in the open fields. How could I go to my house to eat and drink and lie with my wife? As surely as you live, I will not do such a thing!"
11 : 12 Then David said to him, "Stay here one more day, and tomorrow I will send you back." So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next.
11 : 13 At David`s invitation, he ate and drank with him, and David made him drunk. But in the evening Uriah went out to sleep on his mat among his master`s servants; he did not go home.
11 : 14 In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah.
11 : 15 In it he wrote, "Put Uriah in the front line where the fighting is fiercest. Then withdraw from him so he will be struck down and die."
11 : 16 So while Joab had the city under siege, he put Uriah at a place where he knew the strongest defenders were.
11 : 17 When the men of the city came out and fought against Joab, some of the men in David`s army fell; moreover, Uriah the Hittite died.
11 : 18 Joab sent David a full account of the battle.
11 : 19 He instructed the messenger: "When you have finished giving the king this account of the battle,
11 : 20 the king`s anger may flare up, and he may ask you, `Why did you get so close to the city to fight? Didn`t you know they would shoot arrows from the wall?
11 : 21 Who killed Abimelech son of Jerub-Besheth ? Didn`t a woman throw an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died in Thebez? Why did you get so close to the wall?` If he asks you this, then say to him, `Also, your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead.` "
11 : 22 The messenger set out, and when he arrived he told David everything Joab had sent him to say.
11 : 23 The messenger said to David, "The men overpowered us and came out against us in the open, but we drove them back to the entrance to the city gate.
11 : 24 Then the archers shot arrows at your servants from the wall, and some of the king`s men died. Moreover, your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead."
11 : 25 David told the messenger, "Say this to Joab: `Don`t let this upset you; the sword devours one as well as another. Press the attack against the city and destroy it.` Say this to encourage Joab."
11 : 26 When Uriah`s wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him.
11 : 27 After the time of mourning was over, David had her brought to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing David had done displeased the LORD.
