Chapter 11
And
it
came
to
pass,
after
the
year
was
expired,
at
the
time
when
kings
go
forth
to
battle,
that
David
sent
Joab,
and
his
servants
with
him,
and
all
Israel;
and
they
destroyed
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
besieged
Rabbah.
But
David
tarried
still
at
Jerusalem.
2
And
it
came
to
pass
in
an
eveningtide,
that
David
arose
from
off
his
bed,
and
walked
upon
the
roof
of
the
king’s
house:
and
from
the
roof
he
saw
a
woman
washing
herself;
and
the
woman
was
very
beautiful
to
look
upon.
3
And
David
sent
and
inquired
after
the
woman.
And
one
said,
Is
not
this
Bath-sheba,
the
daughter
of
Eliam,
the
wife
of
Uriah
the
Hittite?
4
And
David
sent
messengers,
and
took
her;
and
she
came
in
unto
him,
and
he
lay
with
her;
for
she
was
purified
from
her
uncleanness:
and
she
returned
unto
her
house.
5
And
the
woman
conceived,
and
sent
and
told
David,
and
said,
I
am
with
child.
6
And
David
sent
to
Joab,
saying,
Send
me
Uriah
the
Hittite.
And
Joab
sent
Uriah
to
David.
7
And
when
Uriah
was
come
unto
him,
David
demanded
of
him
how
Joab
did,
and
how
the
people
did,
and
how
the
war
prospered.
8
And
David
said
to
Uriah,
Go
down
to
thy
house,
and
wash
thy
feet.
And
Uriah
departed
out
of
the
king’s
house,
and
there
followed
him
a
mess
of
meat
from
the
king.
9
But
Uriah
slept
at
the
door
of
the
king’s
house
with
all
the
servants
of
his
lord,
and
went
not
down
to
his
house.
10
And
when
they
had
told
David,
saying,
Uriah
went
not
down
unto
his
house,
David
said
unto
Uriah,
Camest
thou
not
from
thy
journey?
why
then
didst
thou
not
go
down
unto
thine
house?
11
And
Uriah
said
unto
David,
The
ark,
and
Israel,
and
Judah,
abide
in
tents;
and
my
lord
Joab,
and
the
servants
of
my
lord,
are
encamped
in
the
open
fields;
shall
I
then
go
into
mine
house,
to
eat
and
to
drink,
and
to
lie
with
my
wife?
as
thou
livest,
and
as
thy
soul
liveth,
I
will
not
do
this
thing.
12
And
David
said
to
Uriah,
Tarry
here
to
day
also,
and
to
morrow
I
will
let
thee
depart.
So
Uriah
abode
in
Jerusalem
that
day,
and
the
morrow.
13
And
when
David
had
called
him,
he
did
eat
and
drink
before
him;
and
he
made
him
drunk:
and
at
even
he
went
out
to
lie
on
his
bed
with
the
servants
of
his
lord,
but
went
not
down
to
his
house.
14
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
morning,
that
David
wrote
a
letter
to
Joab,
and
sent
it
by
the
hand
of
Uriah.
15
And
he
wrote
in
the
letter,
saying,
Set
ye
Uriah
in
the
forefront
of
the
hottest
battle,
and
retire
ye
from
him,
that
he
may
be
smitten,
and
die.
16
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Joab
observed
the
city,
that
he
assigned
Uriah
unto
a
place
where
he
knew
that
valiant
men
were.
17
And
the
men
of
the
city
went
out,
and
fought
with
Joab:
and
there
fell
some
of
the
people
of
the
servants
of
David;
and
Uriah
the
Hittite
died
also.
18
Then
Joab
sent
and
told
David
all
the
things
concerning
the
war;
19
And
charged
the
messenger,
saying,
When
thou
hast
made
an
end
of
telling
the
matters
of
the
war
unto
the
king,
20
And
if
so
be
that
the
king’s
wrath
arise,
and
he
say
unto
thee,
Wherefore
approached
ye
so
nigh
unto
the
city
when
ye
did
fight?
knew
ye
not
that
they
would
shoot
from
the
wall?
21
Who
smote
Abimelech
the
son
of
Jerubbesheth?
did
not
a
woman
cast
a
piece
of
a
millstone
upon
him
from
the
wall,
that
he
died
in
Thebez?
why
went
ye
nigh
the
wall?
then
say
thou,
Thy
servant
Uriah
the
Hittite
is
dead
also.
22
So
the
messenger
went,
and
came
and
shewed
David
all
that
Joab
had
sent
him
for.
23
And
the
messenger
said
unto
David,
Surely
the
men
prevailed
against
us,
and
came
out
unto
us
into
the
field,
and
we
were
upon
them
even
unto
the
entering
of
the
gate.
24
And
the
shooters
shot
from
off
the
wall
upon
thy
servants;
and
some
of
the
king’s
servants
be
dead,
and
thy
servant
Uriah
the
Hittite
is
dead
also.
25
Then
David
said
unto
the
messenger,
Thus
shalt
thou
say
unto
Joab,
Let
not
this
thing
displease
thee,
for
the
sword
devoureth
one
as
well
as
another:
make
thy
battle
more
strong
against
the
city,
and
overthrow
it:
and
encourage
thou
him.
26
And
when
the
wife
of
Uriah
heard
that
Uriah
her
husband
was
dead,
she
mourned
for
her
husband.
27
And
when
the
mourning
was
past,
David
sent
and
fetched
her
to
his
house,
and
she
became
his
wife,
and
bare
him
a
son.
But
the
thing
that
David
had
done
displeased
the
Lord.
