    9Why have you despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in His sight? You have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

    10Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house; because you have despised Me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.

    11Thus says the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against you from your own house, and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.

    12For you did it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.

    16David therefore pleaded with God for the child; and he fasted, and went in, and lay all night on the ground.

    17The elders of his house arose and went to him to raise him up from the ground, but he would not, nor did he eat with them.

    18And it came to pass on the seventh day, the child died. The servants of David were afraid to tell him the child was dead: for they said, While the child was alive, we spoke to him, and he would not listen to us: how then will he vex himself, if we tell him the child is dead?

    19But when David saw his servants whispering, he perceived the child was dead: therefore David said to his servants, Is the child dead? They said, He is dead.

    20Then David arose from the ground, washed, anointed himself, changed his clothing, came into the house of the LORD, and worshiped: then he went to his own house; when he asked, they set food before him, and he ate.

    3So David sent and inquired about the woman. And someone said, Is this not Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?

    4Then 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.

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

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

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

    8And 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.

    9But 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.

    10When 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?

    11And 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.

    12Then David said to Uriah, Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart. So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next.

    13Now when David called him, he ate and drank before him, and he made him drunk. And at evening he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.

    14In the morning it happened that David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah.

    15And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set Uriah in the forefront of the fiercest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck down and die.
