    4David 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.

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

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

    7When Uriah was come to him, David asked of him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.

    8David said to Uriah, "Go down to your house, and wash your feet." Uriah departed out of the king's house, and a gift from the king was sent after him.

    9But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and didn't go down to his house.

    10When they had told David, saying, "Uriah didn't go down to his house," David said to Uriah, "Haven't you come from a journey? Why didn't you go down to your house?"

    15He wrote in the letter, saying, "Send Uriah to the forefront of the hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck, and die."

    16It happened, when Joab kept watch on the city, that he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.

    17The 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.

    18Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;

    27When the mourning was past, David sent and took her home to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased Yahweh.
