1 And it will be at the return of the year, at the time of the going forth of kings, and David will send Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they will destroy the sons of Ammon, and they will watch closely against Rabbah And David will dwell in Jerusalem. 2 And it will be at the time of the evening, and David will rise from off his bed, and will go upon the roof of the king's house: and he will see from the roof a woman washing herself; and the woman good of aspect exceedingly. 3 And David will send and seek for the woman, and say, Is not this Bath-Sheba, daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite? 4 And David will send messengers and take her: and she will come in to him, and he will lie with her; (and she being consecrated from her uncleanness:) and she will turn back to her house. 5 And the woman will conceive, and send and announce to David, and say, I am pregnant. 6 And David will send to Joab, Send to me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab will send Uriah to David. 7 And Uriah will come to him, and David will ask for peace of Joab, and for the peace of the people, and for the peace of the host. 2 Samuel 11:1-7, Smith's Literal Translation.
