3 And David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bath–she´ba, the daughter of Eli´am, the wife of Uri´ah 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 Jo´ab, saying, Send me Uri´ah the Hittite. And Jo´ab sent Uri´ah to David.
7 And when Uri´ah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Jo´ab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.
8 And David said to Uri´ah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uri´ah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king.
9 But Uri´ah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
