    4 Then David sent messengers, and took her; and she came to him, and he lay with her, for she was cleansed from her impurity; and she returned to her house.

    5 And the woman conceived, so she sent and told David, and said, I am with child.

    6 Then David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.

    7 When Uriah had come to him, David asked how Joab was doing, and how the people were doing, and how the war prospered.

    8 And David said to Uriah, Go down to your house and wash your feet. So Uriah departed from the king's house, and a gift of food from the king followed him.

    9 But Uriah slept at the door 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, saying, Uriah did not go down to his house, David said to Uriah, Did you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?

    11 And Uriah said to David, The ark and Israel and Judah are dwelling in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are encamped in the open fields. Shall I then go to 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.

    16 So it happened, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah to a place where he knew there were valiant men.
