2 Samuel 11

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

Good News Translation GNT

1 The following spring, at the time of the year when kings usually go to war, David sent out Joab with his officers and the Israelite army; they defeated the Ammonites and besieged the city of Rabbah. But David himself stayed in Jerusalem.

2 One day, late in the afternoon, David got up from his nap and went to the palace roof. As he walked around up there, he saw a woman taking a bath in 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 Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.

4 David sent 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 David to tell him.

6 David then sent a message to Joab: "Send me Uriah the Hittite." So Joab sent him to David.

7 When Uriah arrived, David asked him if Joab and the troops were well, and how the fighting was going.

8 Then he said to Uriah, "Go on home and rest a while." Uriah left, and David had a present sent to his home.

9 But Uriah did not go home; instead he slept at the palace gate with the king's guards.

10 When David heard that Uriah had not gone home, he asked him, "You have just returned after a long absence; why didn't you go home?"

11 Uriah answered, "The men of Israel and Judah are away in battle, and the Covenant Box is with them; my commander Joab and 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 David said, "Then stay here the rest of the day, and tomorrow I'll send you back." So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and the next.

13 David invited him to supper and got him drunk. But again that night Uriah did not go home; instead he slept on his blanket in the palace guardroom.

14 The next morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by Uriah.

15 He wrote: "Put Uriah in the front line, where the fighting is heaviest, then retreat and let him be killed."

16 So while Joab was besieging the city, he sent Uriah to 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 Joab sent a report to David telling 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 Don't you remember how Abimelech son of Gideon was 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 Uriah was also killed.' "

22 So the messenger went to David and told him what Joab had 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 Uriah was also killed."

25 David said to the messenger, "Encourage Joab and 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, David had her brought to the palace; she became his wife and bore him a son. But the Lord was not pleased with what David had done.
