David and Bathsheba 1Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπιστρέψαντος τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τῆς ἐξοδίας τῶν βασιλέων καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Δαυεὶδ τὸν Ἰωὰβ καὶ τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν πάντα Ἰσραήλ, καὶ διέφθειραν τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀμμών· καὶ διεκάθισαν ἐπὶ Ῥαββάθ, καὶ Δαυεὶδ ἐκάθισεν ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ. 2Καὶ ἐγένετο πρὸς ἑσπέραν καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυεὶδ ἀπὸ τῆς κοίτης αὐτοῦ καὶ περιεπάτει ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ εἶδεν γυναῖκα λουομένην ἀπὸ τοῦ δώματος, καὶ ἡ γυνὴ καλὴ τῷ εἴδει σφόδρα. 3καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Δαυεὶδ καὶ ἐζήτησεν τὴν γυναῖκα, καὶ εἶπεν Οὐχὶ αὕτη Βηρσάβεε θυγάτηρ Ἐλιὰβ γυνὴ Οὐρείου τοῦ Χετταίου; 4καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Δαυεὶδ ἀγγέλους καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτήν, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτὴν καὶ ἐκοιμήθη μετ᾽ αὐτῆς· καὶ αὕτη ἁγιαζομένη ἀπὸ ἀκαθαρσίας αὐτῆς· καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτῆς. 5καὶ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔλαβεν ἡ γυνή, καὶ ἀποστείλασα ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ Δαυεὶδ καὶ εἶπεν Ἐγώ εἰμι ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχω. 6καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Δαυεὶδ πρὸς Ἰωὰβ λέγων Ἀπόστειλον πρὸς μὲ τὸν Οὐρείαν τὸν Χετταῖον· καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰωὰβ τὸν Οὐρείαν πρὸς Δαυείδ. 7καὶ παραγίνεται Οὐρείας καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν Δαυεὶδ εἰς εἰρήνην Ἰωὰβ καὶ εἰς εἰρήνην τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ εἰς εἰρήνην τοῦ πολέμου. 8καὶ εἶπεν Δαυεὶδ τῷ Οὐρείᾳ Κατάβηθι εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου καὶ νίψαι τοὺς πόδας σου· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Οὐρείας ἐξ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ἄρσις τοῦ βασιλέως. 9καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Οὐρείας παρὰ τῇ θύρᾳ τοῦ βασιλέως μετὰ τῶν δούλων τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐ κατέβη εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ. 10καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν τῷ Δαυεὶδ λέγοντες ὅτι Οὐ κατέβη Οὐρείας εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ. καὶ εἶπεν Δαυεὶδ πρὸς Οὐρείαν Οὐχὶ ἐξ ὁδοῦ σὺ ἔρχῃ; τί ὅτι οὐ κατέβης εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου; 11καὶ εἶπεν Οὐρείας πρὸς Δαυείδ Ἡ κιβωτὸς καὶ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδας κατοικοῦσιν ἐν σκηναῖς, καὶ ὁ κύριός μου Ἰωὰβ καὶ οἱ δοῦλοι τοῦ κυρίου μου ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ ἀγροῦ παρεμβάλλουσιν· καὶ ἐγὼ εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς τὸν οἶκόν μου φαγεῖν καὶ πιεῖν καὶ κοιμηθῆναι μετὰ τῆς γυναικός μου; πῶς; ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, εἰ ποιήσω τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο. 12καὶ εἶπεν Δαυεὶδ πρὸς Οὐρείαν Κάθισον ἐνταῦθα καί γε σήμερον, καὶ αὔριον ἐξαποστελῶ σε· καὶ ἐκάθισεν Οὐρείας ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ τῇ ἐπαύριον. 13καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸν Δαυείδ, καὶ ἔφαγεν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔπιεν, καὶ ἐμέθυσεν αὐτόν· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἑσπέρας τοῦ κοιμηθῆναι ἐπὶ τῆς κοίτης αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν δούλων τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ οὐ κατέβη. David Arranges Uriah's Death 14καὶ ἐγένετο πρωὶ καὶ ἔγραψεν Δαυεὶδ βιβλίον πρὸς Ἰωάβ, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἐν χειρὶ Οὐρείου. 15καὶ ἔγραψεν ἐν βιβλίῳ λέγων Εἰσάγαγε τὸν Οὐρείαν ἐξ ἐναντίας τοῦ πολέμου τοῦ κραταιοῦ, καὶ ἀποστραφήσεσθε ἀπὸ ὄπισθεν αὐτοῦ, καὶ πληγήσεται καὶ ἀποθανεῖται. 16καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ φυλάσσειν Ἰωὰβ ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν καὶ ἔθηκεν τὸν Οὐρείαν εἰς τὸν τόπον οὗ ᾔδει ὅτι ἄνδρες δυνάμεως ἐκεῖ. 17καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἐπολέμουν μετὰ Ἰωάβ· καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ ἐκ τῶν δούλων Δαυεὶδ καὶ ἀπέθαναν, καί γε Οὐρείας ὁ Χετταῖος. 18καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰωὰβ καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ βασιλεῖ Δαυεὶδ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τοῦ πολέμου λαλῆσαι πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα. 19καὶ ἐνετείλατο τῷ ἀγγέλῳ λέγων Ἐν τῷ συντελέσαι πάντας τοὺς λόγους τοῦ πολέμου λαλῆσαι πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, 20καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν ἀναβῇ ὁ θυμὸς τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ εἴπῃ σοι Τί ὅτι ἠγγίσατε πρὸς τὴν πόλιν πολεμῆσαι; οὐκ ᾔδειτε ὅτι τοξεύσουσιν ἀπάνωθεν τοῦ τείχους; 21τίς ἐπάταξεν τὸν Ἀβειμέλεχ υἱὸν Ἰεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Νήρ; οὐχὶ γυνὴ ἔρριψεν κλάσμα ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν μύλου ἐπάνωθεν τοῦ τείχους καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐν Θαμασί; ἵνα τί προσηγάγετε πρὸς τὸ τεῖχος; καὶ ἐρεῖς Καί γε Οὐρείας ὁ δοῦλός σου ὁ Χετταῖος ἀπέθανεν. 22καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὁ ἄγγελος Ἰωὰβ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ παρεγένετο καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ Δαυεὶδ πάντα ὅσα ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ Ἰωάβ, πάντα τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ πολέμου. καὶ ἐθυμώθη Δαυεὶδ πρὸς Ἰωάβ, καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον Ἵνα τί προσηγάγετε πρὸς τὴν πόλιν τοῦ πολεμῆσαι; οὐκ ᾔδειτε ὅτι πληγήσεσθε ἀπὸ τοῦ τείχους; τίς ἐπάταξεν τὸν Ἀβειμέλεχ υἱὸν Ἰεροβοάμ; οὐχὶ γυνὴ ἔρριψεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν κλάσμα μύλου ἀπὸ τοῦ τείχους καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐν Θαμασί; ἵνα τί προσηγάγετε πρὸς τὸ τεῖχος; 23καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄγγελος πρὸς Δαυείδ Ὅτι ἐκραταίωσαν ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς οἱ ἄνδρες καὶ ἐξῆλθαν ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς εἰς τὸν ἀγρόν, καὶ ἐγενήθημεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς ἕως τῆς θύρας τῆς πύλης· 24καὶ ἐτόξευσαν οἱ τοξεύοντες πρὸς τοὺς παῖδάς σου ἀπάνωθεν τοῦ τείχους, καὶ ἀπέθαναν τῶν παίδων τοῦ βασιλέως, καί γε ὁ δοῦλός σου Οὐρείας ὁ Χετταῖος ἀπέθανεν. 25καὶ εἶπεν Δαυεὶδ πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον Τάδε ἐρεῖς πρὸς Ἰωάβ Μὴ πονηρὸν ἔστω ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο, ὅτι ποτὲ μὲν οὕτως καὶ ποτὲ οὕτως φάγεται ἡ μάχαιρα· κραταίωσον τὸν πόλεμόν σου πρὸς τὴν πόλιν καὶ κατάσπασον αὐτήν· καὶ κραταίωσον αὐτόν. David Marries Bathsheba 26καὶ ἤκουσεν ἡ γυνὴ Οὐρείου ὅτι ἀπέθανεν Οὐρείας ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐκόψατο τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς. 27καὶ διῆλθεν τὸ πένθος, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Δαυεὶδ καὶ συνήγαγεν αὐτὴν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα καὶ ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ υἱόν· καὶ πονηρὸν ἐφάνη τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ἐποίησεν Δαυεὶδ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου.
