    1In the spring, at the time when kings go out to war, David sent Joab along with his servants and all of Israel. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah, but David stayed in Jerusalem.

    2One evening, David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the king’s house. From the roof, he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful.

    3David sent someone to inquire about the woman, and it was reported to him, 'Isn’t this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite?'

    4So David sent messengers, took her, and she came to him. He slept with her while she was purifying herself from her uncleanness. Then she returned to her house.

    5The woman conceived and sent a message to David, saying, 'I am pregnant.'

    6So David sent word to Joab, 'Send me Uriah the Hittite,' and Joab sent Uriah to David.

    8Then David said to Uriah, 'Go down to your house and wash your feet.' So Uriah left the king’s house, and a gift from the king was sent after him.

    9But Uriah slept at the entrance of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord and did not go down to his house.

    10When they told David, 'Uriah did not go down to his house,' David said to Uriah, 'Haven’t you just come from a journey? Why didn’t you go home?'

    11Uriah said to David, 'The Ark, Israel, and Judah are staying in tents, and my lord Joab and the king’s servants are camped in the open field. How can I go to my house to eat and drink and lie with my wife? As surely as you live and as your soul lives, I will not do such a thing!'

    12Then David said to Uriah, 'Stay here one more day, and tomorrow I will send you back.' So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and the next.

    13David invited Uriah to eat and drink with him, and David made him drunk. In the evening, Uriah went out to lie on his mat among his master's servants but did not go home.

    14The next morning, David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah.

    15In the letter, David wrote, 'Put Uriah at the front where the fighting is fiercest. Then withdraw from him so he will be struck down and killed.'

    16As Joab kept watch over the city, he positioned Uriah at a place where he knew the strongest defenders were.

    17When the men of the city came out and fought against Joab, some of David’s men fell in battle, and Uriah the Hittite also died.

    18Joab sent David a full report of the battle.

    19He instructed the messenger, 'When you finish delivering the report of the battle to the king,

    20if the king becomes angry and asks, "Why did you go so near the city to fight? Didn’t you know they would shoot arrows from the wall?

    21Who killed Abimelech son of Jerubbesheth? Didn’t a woman drop a millstone on him from the wall so that he died in Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?" then say to him, "Your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead."'

    22The messenger set out, and when he arrived, he reported to David everything Joab had sent him to say.

    23The messenger said to David, 'The men overpowered us and came out against us in the open field, but we drove them back to the entrance of the city gate.'

    24Then 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.

    25David said to the messenger, 'Say this to Joab: Don’t let this thing upset you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Press your attack against the city and destroy it. Encourage him.'

    26When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him.

    27After the mourning was over, David sent for her and brought her to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing David had done displeased the LORD.
