    5And the woman conceaued, and sent and tolde Dauid, & sayde: I am with childe.

    6And Dauid sent to Ioab, saying: Send me Urias the Hethite. And Ioab sent Urias to Dauid.

    7And whe Urias was come vnto him, Dauid demaunded of him howe Ioab did, and how the people fared, and how the warre prospered?

    8And Dauid sayde to Urias: Go downe to thy house, & washe thy feete. And Urias departed out of the kinges palace, and there folowed him a present from the king.
