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 Yo'av, [saying], Send me Uriyah the Hittite. Yo'av sent Uriyah to David.
7
When Uriyah was come to him, David asked of him how Yo'av did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.
8
David said to Uriyah, Go down to your house, and wash your feet. Uriyah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess [of food] from the king.
9
But Uriyah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and didn't go down to his house.
10
When they had told David, saying, Uriyah didn't go down to his house, David said to Uriyah, Haven't you come from a journey? why did you not go down to your house?
11
Uriyah said to David, The ark, and Yisra'el, and Yehudah, abide in booths; and my lord Yo'av, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open field; shall I then go into 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
David said to Uriyah, Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart. So Uriyah abode in Yerushalayim that day, and the next day.
13
When David had called him, he ate 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 didn't go down to his house.
14
It happened in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Yo'av, and sent it by the hand of Uriyah.
