1 In the spring,11:1 Literally At the turn of the yearat the time when kings march out to war, Davidsent out Joaband his servants with the whole army of Israel. They destroyed the Ammonitesand besieged Rabbah, but Davidremained in Jerusalem.
2 One evening Davidgot up from his bed and strolled around on the roof of the palace. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing— a very beautiful woman. 3 So Davidsent and inquired about the woman, and he was told, "This is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam11:3 Eliam is a variant of Ammiel; see 1 Chronicles 3:5.and the wife of Uriahthe Hittite."
4 Then Davidsent messengers to get her, and when she came to him, he slept with her. (Now she had just purified herself from her uncleanness.) Then she returned home. 5 And the woman conceived and sent word to David, saying, "I am pregnant."
6 At this, Davidsent orders to Joab: "Send me Uriahthe Hittite." So Joabsent him to David.
7 When Uriahcame to him, Davidasked how Joaband the troops were doing and how the war was going. 8 Then he said to Uriah, "Go down to your house and wash your feet."
So Uriahleft the palace, and a gift from the king followed him. 9 But Uriahslept at the door of the palace with all his master’s servants; he did not go down to his house.
10 And Davidwas told, "Uriahdid not go home."
"Haven’t you just arrived from a journey?" Davidasked Uriah. "Why didn’t you go home?"
11 Uriahanswered, "The ark and Israel and Judah are dwelling in tents,11:11 Or staying at Sukkothand my master Joaband his soldiers are camped in the open field. How can I go to my house to eat and drink and sleep with my wife? As surely as you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do such a thing!"
12 "Stay here one more day," Davidsaid to Uriah, "and tomorrow I will send you back." So Uriahstayed in Jerusalemthat day and the next.
13 Then Davidinvited Uriah to eat and drink with him, and he got Uriah drunk. And in the evening Uriah went out to lie down on his cot with his master’s servants, but he did not go home.
David Arranges Uriah’s Death
14 The next morning Davidwrote a letter to Joaband sent it with Uriah. 15 In the letter he wrote: "Put Uriahat the front of the fiercest battle; then withdraw from him, so that he may be struck down and killed."
16 So as Joabbesieged the city, he assigned Uriahto a place where he knew the strongest enemy soldiers were. 17 And when the men of the city came out and fought against Joab, some of David’s servants fell, and Uriahthe Hittite also died.
18 Joabsent to Davida full account of the battle 19 and instructed the messenger, "When you have finished giving the king a full account of the battle, 20 if the king’s anger flares, he may ask you, ‘Why did you get so close to the city to fight? Did you not realize they would shoot from atop the wall? 21 Who struck Abimelechson of Jerubbesheth11:21 Jerubbesheth is also known as Jerubbaal, that is, Gideon.? Was it not a woman who dropped an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died in Thebez? Why did you get so close to the wall?’
If he asks you this, then you are to say, ‘Your servant Uriahthe Hittite is dead as well.’"
22 So the messenger set out and reported to Davidall that Joabhad sent him to say. 23 The messenger said to David, "The men overpowered us and came out against us in the field, but we drove them back to the entrance of the gate. 24 Then the archers shot at your servants from the wall, and some of the king’s servants were killed. And your servant Uriahthe Hittite is dead as well."
25 Then Davidtold the messenger, "Say this to Joab: ‘Do not let this matter upset you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Strengthen your attack against the city and demolish it.’ Encourage him with these words."
David Marries Bathsheba
26 When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him. 27 And when the time of mourning was over, Davidhad her brought to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son.
But the thing that Davidhad done was evil in the sight of the LORD.
