1 1 Ch 20.1The following spring, at the time of the year when kings usually go to war, Davidsent out Joabwith his officers and the Israelite army; they defeated the Ammonitesand besieged the city of Rabbah. But Davidhimself stayed in Jerusalem.
2 One day, late in the afternoon, Davidgot up from his nap and went to the palace roof. As he walked around up there, he saw a woman taking a bathin her house. She was very beautiful. 3 So he sent a messenger to find out who she was, and learned that she was Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliamand the wife of Uriahthe Hittite. 4 Davidsent messengers to get her; they brought her to him and he made love to her. (She had just finished her monthly ritual of purification.) Then she went back home. 5 Afterward she discovered that she was pregnant and sent a message to Davidto tell him.
6 Davidthen sent a message to Joab: "Send me Uriahthe Hittite." So Joabsent him to David. 7 When Uriaharrived, Davidasked him if Joaband the troops were well, and how the fighting was going. 8 Then he said to Uriah, "Go on home and rest a while." Uriahleft, and Davidhad a present sent to his home. 9 But Uriahdid not go home; instead he slept at the palace gate with the king’s guards. 10 When Davidheard that Uriahhad not gone home, he asked him, "You have just returned after a long absence; why didn’t you go home?"
11 Uriahanswered, "The men of Israel and Judah are away in battle, and the Covenant Box is with them; my commander Joaband his officers are camping out in the open. How could I go home, eat and drink, and sleep with my wife? By all that’s sacred, I swear that I could never do such a thing!"
12 So Davidsaid, "Then stay here the rest of the day, and tomorrow I’ll send you back." So Uriahstayed in Jerusalemthat day and the next. 13 Davidinvited him to supper and got him drunk. But again that night Uriah did not go home; instead he slept on his blanket11.13: blanket; or cot.in the palace guardroom.
14 The next morning Davidwrote a letter to Joaband sent it by Uriah. 15 He wrote: "Put Uriahin the front line, where the fighting is heaviest, then retreat and let him be killed." 16 So while Joabwas besieging the city, he sent Uriahto a place where he knew the enemy was strong. 17 The enemy troops came out of the city and fought Joab’s forces; some of David’s officers were killed, and so was Uriah.
18 Then Joabsent a report to Davidtelling him about the battle, 19 and he instructed the messenger, "After you have told the king all about the battle, 20 he may get angry and ask you, ‘Why did you go so near the city to fight them? Didn’t you realize that they would shoot arrows from the walls? 21 Jg 9.53Don’t you remember how Abimelechson of Gideonwas killed? It was at Thebez, where a woman threw a millstone down from the wall and killed him. Why, then, did you go so near the wall?’ If the king asks you this, tell him, ‘Your officer Uriahwas also killed.’"
22 So the messenger went to Davidand told him what Joabhad commanded him to say. 23 He said, "Our enemies were stronger than we were and came out of the city to fight us in the open, but we drove them back to the city gate. 24 Then they shot arrows at us from the wall, and some of Your Majesty’s officers were killed; your officer Uriahwas also killed."
25 Davidsaid to the messenger, "Encourage Joaband tell him not to be upset, since you never can tell who will die in battle. Tell him to launch a stronger attack on the city and capture it."
26 When Bathsheba heard that her husband had been killed, she mourned for him. 27 When the time of mourning was over, Davidhad her brought to the palace; she became his wife and bore him a son. But the Lordwas not pleased with what Davidhad done.
