    1David Commits Adultery with Bathsheba In the spring of the year, at the time when kings normally conduct wars, David sent out Joab with his officers and the entire Israelite army. They defeated the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed behind in Jerusalem.

    2One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of his palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. Now this woman was very attractive.

    3So David sent someone to inquire about the woman. The messenger said,“Isn’t this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?”

    4David sent some messengers to get her. She came to him and he went to bed with her.(Now at that time she was in the process of purifying herself from her menstrual uncleanness.) Then she returned to her home.

    5The woman conceived and then sent word to David saying,“I’m pregnant.”

    6So David sent a message to Joab that said,“Send me Uriah the Hittite.” So Joab sent Uriah to David.

    7When Uriah came to him, David asked about how Joab and the army were doing and how the campaign was going.

    8Then David said to Uriah,“Go down to your home and relax.” When Uriah left the palace, the king sent a gift to him.

    9But Uriah stayed at the door of the palace with all the servants of his lord. He did not go down to his house.

    10So they informed David,“Uriah has not gone down to his house.” So David said to Uriah,“Haven’t you just arrived from a journey? Why haven’t you gone down to your house?”

    11Uriah replied to David,“The ark and Israel and Judah reside in temporary shelters, and my lord Joab and my lord’s soldiers are camping in the open field. Should I go to my house to eat and drink and go to bed with my wife? As surely as you are alive, I will not do this thing!”

    12So David said to Uriah,“Stay here another day. Tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem both that day and the following one.

    14In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah.

    16So as Joab kept watch on the city, he stationed Uriah at the place where he knew the best enemy soldiers were.

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

    22So the messenger departed. When he arrived, he informed David of all the news that Joab had sent with him.

    23The messenger said to David,“The men overpowered us and attacked us in the field. But we forced them to retreat all the way to the door of the city gate.

    24Then the archers shot at your servants from the wall and some of the king’s soldiers died. Your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead.”

    25David said to the messenger,“Tell Joab,‘Don’t let this thing upset you. There is no way to anticipate whom the sword will cut down. Press the battle against the city and conquer it.’ Encourage him with these words.”

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

    27When the time of mourning passed, David had her brought to his palace. She became his wife and she bore him a son. But what David had done upset the LORD.
