But David stayed at Jerusalem. <\/br><strong>2<\/strong> It happened at evening, that David arose from off his bed, and walked on the roof of the king&#8217;s house: and from the roof he saw a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful to look on. <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> David send and inquired after the woman. One said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite? <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in to him, and he lay with her (for she was purified from her uncleanness); and she returned to her house. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, I am with child. <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> David sent to Joab, [saying], Send me Uriah the Hittite. Joab sent Uriah to David. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> When Uriah was come to him, David asked of him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> David said to Uriah, Go down to your house, and wash your feet. Uriah departed out of the king&#8217;s house, and there followed him a mess [of food] from the king. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> But Uriah slept at the door of the king&#8217;s house with all the servants of his lord, and didn&#8217;t go down to his house. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> When they had told David, saying, Uriah didn&#8217;t go down to his house, David said to Uriah, Haven&#8217;t you come from a journey? why did you not go down to your house? <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> Uriah said to David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in booths; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open field; shall I then go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> David said to Uriah, Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the next day. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> When David had called him, he ate and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but didn&#8217;t go down to his house. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> It happened in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> He wrote in the letter, saying, Set Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire you from him, that he may be struck, and die. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> It happened, when Joab kept watch on the city, that he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> The men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war; <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> and he charged the messenger, saying, &#8220;When you have made an end of telling all the things concerning the war to the king, <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> it shall be that, if the king&#8217;s wrath arise, and he tells you, &#8216;Why did you go so near to the city to fight? Didn&#8217;t you know that they would shoot from the wall? <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Didn&#8217;t a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?&#8217; then shall you say, &#8216;Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.'&#8221; <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> So the messenger went, and came and shown David all that Joab had sent him for. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> The messenger said to David, The men prevailed against us, and came out to us into the field, and we were on them even to the entrance of the gate. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> The shooters shot at your servants from off the wall; and some of the king&#8217;s servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> Then David said to the messenger, Thus shall you tell Joab, Don&#8217;t let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another; make your battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage you him. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made lamentation for her husband. <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> When the mourning was past, David sent and took her home to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased Yahweh. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"6844414800\";\n
