2. At evening, David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king’s house. From the roof, he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to look at.
3. David sent and inquired after the woman. One said, “Isn’t this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, Uriah the Hittite’s wife?”
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, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” Joab sent Uriah to David.
7. When Uriah had come to him, David asked him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.
