    4 David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in to him, and he lay with her (for she was purified from her uncleanness); and she returned to her house.

    5 The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, "I am with child."

    6 David sent to Joab, [saying], "Send me Uriah the Hittite." Joab sent Uriah to David.

    17 The men of the city went out, and fought with Joab. Some of the people fell, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
