It happened, at the return
H8141
of the year,
H6256
at the time
H4428
when kings
H3318
go out,
H1732
that David
H7971
sent
H3097
Joab,
H5650
and his servants
H3478
with him, and all Israel;
H7843
and they destroyed
H1121
the children
H5983
of Ammon,
H6696
and besieged
H7237
Rabbah.
H1732
But David
H3427
stayed
H3389
at Jerusalem.
2
H6153
It happened at evening,
H1732
that David
H6965
arose
H4904
from off his bed,
H1980
and walked
H1406
on the roof
H4428
of the king's
H1004
house:
H1406
and from the roof
H7200
he saw
H802
a woman
H7364
bathing;
H802
and the woman
H3966
was very
H2896
beautiful
H4758
to look on.
3
H1732
David
H7971
sent
H1875
and inquired
H802
after the woman.
H559
One said,
H1339
"Isn't this Bathsheba,
H1323
the daughter
H463
of Eliam,
H802
the wife
H223
of Uriah
H2850
the Hittite?"
4
H1732
David
H7971
sent
H4397
messengers,
H3947
and took
H935
her; and she came in
H7901
to him, and he lay
H6942
with her (for she was purified
H2932
from her uncleanness);
H7725
and she returned
H1004
to her house.
5
H802
The woman
H2029
conceived;
H7971
and she sent
H5046
and told
H1732
David,
H559
and said,
H2030
"I am with child."
6
H1732
David
H7971
sent
H3097
to Joab,
H7971
"Send
H223
me Uriah
H2850
the Hittite."
H3097
Joab
H7971
sent
H223
Uriah
H1732
to David.
7
H223
When Uriah
H935
had come
H1732
to him, David
H7592
asked
H3097
of him how Joab
H7965
did,
H5971
and how the people
H7965
fared,
H4421
and how the war
H7965
prospered.
8
H1732
David
H559
said
H223
to Uriah,
H3381
"Go down
H1004
to your house,
H7364
and wash
H7272
your feet."
H223
Uriah
H3318
departed out
H4428
of the king's
H1004
house,
H4864
and a gift
H4428
from the king
H310
was sent after him.
9
H223
But Uriah
H7901
slept
H6607
at the door
H4428
of the king's
H1004
house
H5650
with all the servants
H113
of his lord,
H3381
and didn't go down
H1004
to his house.
10
H5046
When they had told
H1732
David,
H559
saying,
H223
"Uriah
H3381
didn't go down
H1004
to his house,"
H1732
David
H559
said
H223
to Uriah,
H935
"Haven't you come
H1870
from a journey?
H3381
Why didn't you go down
H1004
to your house?"
11
H223
Uriah
H559
said
H1732
to David,
H727
"The ark,
H3478
Israel,
H3063
and Judah,
H5521
are staying in tents;
H113
and my lord
H3097
Joab,
H5650
and the servants
H113
of my lord,
H2583
are encamped
H589
in
H6440
the open
H7704
field.
H589
Shall I
H935
then go
H1004
into my house
H398
to eat
H8354
and to drink,
H7901
and to lie
H802
with my wife?
H2416
As you live,
H5315
and as your soul
H2416
lives,
H6213
I will not do
H1697
this thing!"
12
H1732
David
H559
said
H223
to Uriah,
H3427
"Stay
H3117
here today
H4279
also, and tomorrow
H7971
I will let you depart."
H223
So Uriah
H3427
stayed
H3389
in Jerusalem
H3117
that day,
H3117
and the next day.
13
H1732
When David
H7121
had called
H398
him, he ate
H8354
and drink
H6440
before
H7937
him; and he made him drunk.
H6153
At evening,
H3318
he went out
H7901
to lie
H4904
on his bed
H5650
with the servants
H113
of his lord,
H3381
but didn't go down
H1004
to his house.
14
H1242
It happened in the morning,
H1732
that David
H3789
wrote
H5612
a letter
H3097
to Joab,
H7971
and sent
H3027
it by the hand
H223
of Uriah.
15
H3789
He wrote
H5612
in the letter,
H559
saying,
H3051
"Send
H223
Uriah
H6440
to the forefront
H2389
of the hottest
H4421
battle,
H7725
and retreat
H310
from him,
H5221
that he may be struck,
H4191
and die."
16
H3097
It happened, when Joab
H8104
kept watch
H5892
on the city,
H5414
that he assigned
H223
Uriah
H4725
to the place
H3045
where he knew
H2428
that valiant
H582
men were.
17
H582
The men
H5892
of the city
H3318
went out,
H3898
and fought
H3097
with Joab.
H5971
Some of the people
H5307
fell,
H5650
even of the servants
H1732
of David;
H223
and Uriah
H2850
the Hittite
H4191
died also.
18
H3097
Then Joab
H7971
sent
H5046
and told
H1732
David
H1697
all the things
H4421
concerning the war;
19
H6680
and he commanded
H4397
the messenger,
H559
saying,
H3615
"When you have finished
H1696
telling
H1697
all the things
H4421
concerning the war
H4428
to the king,
20
H4428
it shall be that, if the king's
H2534
wrath
H5927
arise,
H559
and he asks
H5066
you, ‘Why did you go so near
H5892
to the city
H3898
to fight?
H3045
Didn't you know
H3384
that they would shoot
H2346
from the wall?
21
H5221
who struck
H40
Abimelech
H1121
the son
H3380
of Jerubbesheth?
H802
Didn't a woman
H7993
cast
H6400
an upper
H7393
millstone
H2346
on him from the wall,
H4191
so that he died
H8405
at Thebez?
H5066
Why did you go so near
H2346
the wall?'
H559
then you shall say,
H5650
‘Your servant
H223
Uriah
H2850
the Hittite
H4191
is dead also.'"
22
H4397
So the messenger
H3212
went,
H935
and came
H5046
and showed
H1732
David
H3097
all that Joab
H7971
had sent him for.
23
H4397
The messenger
H559
said
H1732
to David,
H582
"The men
H1396
prevailed
H3318
against us, and came out
H7704
to us into the field,
H6607
and we were on them even to the entrance
H8179
of the gate.
24
H3384
The shooters
H3384
shot
H5650
at your servants
H2346
from off the wall;
H4428
and some of the king's
H5650
servants
H4191
are dead,
H5650
and your servant
H223
Uriah
H2850
the Hittite
H4191
is dead also."
25
H1732
Then David
H559
said
H4397
to the messenger,
H559
"Thus you shall tell
H3097
Joab,
H1697
‘Don't let this thing
H3415
displease
H2719
you, for the sword
H398
devours
H2090
one as well as another.
H4421
Make your battle
H2388
stronger
H5892
against the city,
H2040
and overthrow
H2388
it.' Encourage him."
