2 Samuel 11

English Standard Version ESV

1 In the spring of the year, the time when kings go out to battle, David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel. And they ravaged the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.

2 It happened, late one afternoon, when David arose from his couch and was walking on the roof of the king’s house, that he saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful.

3 And David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, “Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite? ”

4 So David sent messengers and took her, and she came to him, and he lay with her. ( Now she had been purifying herself from her uncleanness. ) Then she returned to her house.

5 And the woman conceived, and she sent and told David, “I am pregnant. ”

6 So David sent word to Joab, “Send me Uriah the Hittite. ” And Joab sent Uriah to David.

7 When Uriah came to him, David asked how Joab was doing and how the people were doing and how the war was going.

8 Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet. ” And Uriah went out of the king’s house, and there followed him a present from the king.

9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house.

10 When they told David, “Uriah did not go down to his house, ” David said to Uriah, “Have you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house? ”

11 Uriah said to David, “The ark and Israel and Judah dwell in booths, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are camping in the open field. Shall I then go to my house, to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? As you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing. ”

12 Then David said to Uriah, “Remain here today also, and tomorrow I will send you back. ” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next.

13 And David invited him, and he ate in his presence and drank, so that he made him drunk. And in the evening he went out to lie on his couch with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.

14 In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah.

15 In the letter he wrote, “Set Uriah in the forefront of the hardest fighting, and then draw back from him, that he may be struck down, and die. ”

16 And as Joab was besieging the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew there were valiant men.

17 And the men of the city came out and fought with Joab, and some of the servants of David among the people fell. Uriah the Hittite also died.

18 Then Joab sent and told David all the news about the fighting.

19 And he instructed the messenger, “When you have finished telling all the news about the fighting to the king,

20 then, if the king’s anger rises, and if he says to you, ‘Why did you go so near the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall?

21 Who killed Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Did not a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall? ’ then you shall say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. ’”

22 So the messenger went and came and told David all that Joab had sent him to tell.

23 The messenger said to David, “The men gained an advantage over 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. Some of the king’s servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. ”

25 David said to the messenger, “Thus shall you say to Joab, ‘Do not let this matter displease you, for the sword devours now one and now another. Strengthen your attack against the city and overthrow it. ’ And encourage him. ”

26 When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she lamented over her husband.

27 And when the mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the Lord.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 factum est ergo vertente anno eo tempore quo solent reges ad bella procedere misit David Ioab et servos suos cum eo et universum Israhel et vastaverunt filios Ammon et obsederunt Rabba David autem remansit in Hierusalem

2 dum haec agerentur accidit ut surgeret David de stratu suo post meridiem et deambularet in solario domus regiae viditque mulierem se lavantem ex adverso super solarium suum erat autem mulier pulchra valde

3 misit ergo rex et requisivit quae esset mulier nuntiatumque ei est quod ipsa esset Bethsabee filia Heliam uxor Uriae Hetthei

4 missis itaque David nuntiis tulit eam quae cum ingressa esset ad illum dormivit cum ea statimque sanctificata est ab inmunditia sua

5 et reversa est domum suam concepto fetu mittensque nuntiavit David et ait concepi

6 misit autem David ad Ioab dicens mitte ad me Uriam Hettheum misitque Ioab Uriam ad David

7 et venit Urias ad David quaesivitque David quam recte ageret Ioab et populus et quomodo administraretur bellum

8 et dixit David ad Uriam vade in domum tuam et lava pedes tuos egressus est Urias de domo regis secutusque est eum cibus regius

9 dormivit autem Urias ante portam domus regiae cum aliis servis domini sui et non descendit ad domum suam

10 nuntiatumque est David a dicentibus non ivit Urias ad domum suam et ait David ad Uriam numquid non de via venisti quare non descendisti ad domum tuam

11 et ait Urias ad David arca et Israhel et Iuda habitant in papilionibus et dominus meus Ioab et servi domini mei super faciem terrae manent et ego ingrediar domum meam ut comedam et bibam et dormiam cum uxore mea per salutem tuam et per salutem animae tuae quod non faciam rem hanc

12 ait ergo David ad Uriam mane hic etiam hodie et cras dimittam te mansit Urias in Hierusalem die illa et altera

13 et vocavit eum David ut comederet coram se et biberet et inebriavit eum qui egressus vespere dormivit in stratu suo cum servis domini sui et in domum suam non descendit

14 factum est ergo mane et scripsit David epistulam ad Ioab misitque per manum Uriae

15 scribens in epistula ponite Uriam ex adverso belli ubi fortissimum proelium est et derelinquite eum ut percussus intereat

16 igitur cum Ioab obsideret urbem posuit Uriam in loco quo sciebat viros esse fortissimos

17 egressique viri de civitate bellabant adversum Ioab et ceciderunt de populo servorum David et mortuus est etiam Urias Hettheus

18 misit itaque Ioab et nuntiavit David omnia verba proelii

19 praecepitque nuntio dicens cum conpleveris universos sermones belli ad regem

20 si eum videris indignari et dixerit quare accessistis ad murum ut proeliaremini an ignorabatis quod multa desuper ex muro tela mittantur

21 quis percussit Abimelech filium Hieroboseth nonne mulier misit super eum fragmen molae de muro et interfecit eum in Thebes quare iuxta murum accessistis dices etiam servus tuus Urias Hettheus occubuit

22 abiit ergo nuntius et venit et narravit David omnia quae ei praeceperat Ioab

23 et dixit nuntius ad David praevaluerunt adversum nos viri et egressi sunt ad nos in agrum nos autem facto impetu persecuti eos sumus usque ad portam civitatis

24 et direxerunt iacula sagittarii ad servos tuos ex muro desuper mortuique sunt de servis regis quin etiam servus tuus Urias Hettheus mortuus est

25 et dixit David ad nuntium haec dices Ioab non te frangat ista res varius enim eventus est proelii et nunc hunc nunc illum consumit gladius conforta bellatores tuos adversum urbem ut destruas eam et exhortare eos

26 audivit autem uxor Uriae quod mortuus esset Urias vir suus et planxit eum

27 transactoque luctu misit David et introduxit eam domum suam et facta est ei uxor peperitque ei filium et displicuit verbum hoc quod fecerat David coram Domino
