4 David sent messengers to fetch 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 Afterwards 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 home and rest a while.” Uriah left, and David sent a present 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?”
