  • 2 Sam 11:3 : 3 David 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?'
  • 2 Sam 11:6-9 : 6 So David sent word to Joab, 'Send me Uriah the Hittite,' and Joab sent Uriah to David. 7 When Uriah came to him, David asked about Joab’s well-being, the well-being of the troops, and the condition of the war. 8 Then 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. 9 But 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. 10 When 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?' 11 Uriah 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!' 12 Then 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. 13 David 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. 14 The next morning, David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah. 15 In 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.' 16 As Joab kept watch over the city, he positioned Uriah at a place where he knew the strongest defenders were. 17 When 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. 18 Joab sent David a full report of the battle. 19 He instructed the messenger, 'When you finish delivering the report of the battle to the king, 20 if 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? 21 Who 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."' 22 The messenger set out, and when he arrived, he reported to David everything Joab had sent him to say. 23 The 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.' 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. 25 David 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.' 26 When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him. 27 After 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.
