2 Samuel 11 📜 📕 ↷
David and Bathsheba
1 AND it came to pass the year turning about, at such time when kings are wont to proceed to battles, David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel, and they spoiled the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabba: but David remained in Jerusalem.📜💬📚
2 Whilst these things were in doing, it chanced that David arose from his bed after noon, and walked in the top of the king's house: and he saw a woman washing her self, over-against the roof of his house: and the woman was very beautiful.📜💬📚
3 The king therefore sent, and inquired what woman it was. And it was told him, that she was Bethsabee the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urias the Hetheite.📜💬📚
4 David therefore sending messengers took her, who when she was entered in to him, he slept with her: and forth with she was sanctified from her uncleanness:📜💬📚
5 and she returned into her house having conceived a child. And sending she told David, and said: I have conceived.📜💬📚
