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.
13Then David summoned him. He ate and drank with him, and got him drunk. But in the evening he went out to sleep on his bed with the servants of his lord; he did not go down to his own house.
14In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah.
15In the letter he wrote:“Station Uriah at the front in the thick of the battle and then withdraw from him so he will be cut down and killed.”
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.
18Then Joab sent a full battle report to David.
