2 Samuel 11:1-3 ▼

1 It happened, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the people of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem.

2 Now it happened one evening that David got up from his bed and walked on the roof of the king’s palace; and he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful.

3 And David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, |Isn't this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hethite?|
