And it came to pass, after the year
H8666
had ended,
H6256
at the time
H4428 H4397 [H8675]
when kings
H3318 [H8800]
go forth
H1732
to battle, that David
H7971 [H8799]
sent
H3097
Joab,
H5650
and his servants
H3478
with him, and all Israel;
H7843 [H8686]
and they decayed
H1121
the sons
H5983
of Ammon,
H6696 [H8799]
and besieged
H7237
Rabbah.
H1732
But David
H3427 [H8802]
tarried still
H3389
at Jerusalem.
2
H6153 H6256
And it came to pass in an evening,
H1732
that David
H6965 [H8799]
arose
H4904
from off his bed,
H1980 [H8691]
and walked
H1406
upon the roof
H4428
of the king's
H1004
house:
H1406
and from the roof
H7200 [H8799]
he saw
H802
a woman
H7364 [H8801]
washing
H802
herself; and the woman
H3966
was very
H2896
beautiful
H4758
to look upon.
3
H1732
And David
H7971 [H8799]
sent
H1875 [H8799]
and enquired
H802
after the woman.
H559 [H8799]
And one said,
H1339
Is not this Bathsheba,
H1323
the daughter
H463
of Eliam,
H802
the wife
H223
of Uriah
H2850
the Hittite?
4
H1732
And David
H7971 [H8799]
sent
H4397
messengers,
H3947 [H8799]
and took
H935 [H8799]
her; and she came in
H7901 [H8799]
to him, and he lay
H6942 [H8693]
with her; for she was purified
H2932
from her uncleanness:
H7725 [H8799]
and she returned
H1004
to her house.
5
H802
And the woman
H2029 [H8799]
conceived,
H7971 [H8799]
and sent
H5046 [H8686]
and told
H1732
David,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H2030
I am with child.
6
H1732
And David
H7971 [H8799]
sent
H3097
to Joab,
H7971 [H8798]
saying, Send
H223
me Uriah
H2850
the Hittite.
H3097
And Joab
H7971 [H8799]
sent
H223
Uriah
H1732
to David.
7
H223
And when Uriah
H935 [H8799]
had come
H1732
to him, David
H7592 [H8799]
enquired
H3097
of him how Joab
H7965
did,
H5971
and how the people
H7965
did,
H4421
and how the war
H7965
prospered.
8
H1732
And David
H559 [H8799]
said
H223
to Uriah,
H3381 [H8798]
Go down
H1004
to thy house,
H7364 [H8798]
and wash
H7272
thy feet.
H223
And Uriah
H3318 [H8799]
departed out
H4428
of the king's
H1004
house,
H310
and there followed
H4864
him a present
H4428
from the king.
