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?| 4 So David sent messengers to get her, and she came in to him, and he lay with her. (For she had been purifying herself from her uncleanness.) And she returned to her house. 2 Samuel 11:1-4, New Heart English Bible. Public domain.
