V.1 And it came to pass, after the year 8141 was expired, 8666 at the time 6256 when kings 4428|4397-k go forth 3318-2 [to battle], that David 1732 sent 7971-4 Joab, 3097 and his servants 5650 with him, and all Israel; 3478 and they destroyed 7843-55 the children 1121 of Ammon, 5983 and besieged 6696-4 Rabbah. 7237 But David 1732 tarried 3427-6 still at Jerusalem. 3389

11:2 And it came to pass in an eveningtide, 6153 6256 that David 1732 arose 6965-4 from off his bed, 4904 and walked 1980-101 upon the roof 1406 of the king's 4428 house: 1004 and from the roof 1406 he saw 7200-4 a woman 802 washing 7364-5 herself; and the woman 802 [was] very 3966 beautiful 2896 to look upon. 4758

11:3 And David 1732 sent 7971-4 and enquired 1875-4 after the woman. 802 And [one] said, 559-4 [Is] not this Bathsheba, 1339 the daughter 1323 of Eliam, 463 the wife 802 of Uriah 223 the Hittite? 2850

11:4 And David 1732 sent 7971-4 messengers, 4397 and took 3947-4 her; and she came in 935-4 unto him, and he lay 7901-4 with her; for she was purified 6942-102 from her uncleanness: 2932 and she returned 7725-4 unto her house. 1004

11:5 And the woman 802 conceived, 2029-4 and sent 7971-4 and told 5046-55 David, 1732 and said, 559-4 I [am] with child. 2030

11:6 And David 1732 sent 7971-4 to Joab, 3097 [saying], Send 7971-3 me Uriah 223 the Hittite. 2850 And Joab 3097 sent 7971-4 Uriah 223 to David. 1732

11:7 And when Uriah 223 was come 935-4 unto him, David 1732 demanded 7592-4 [of him] how Joab 3097 did, 7965 and how the people 5971 did, 7965 and how the war 4421 prospered. 7965

11:8 And David 1732 said 559-4 to Uriah, 223 Go down 3381-3 to thy house, 1004 and wash 7364-3 thy feet. 7272 And Uriah 223 departed 3318-4 out of the king's 4428 house, 1004 and there followed 3318-4 310 him a mess 4864 [of meat] from the king. 4428

11:9 But Uriah 223 slept 7901-4 at the door 6607 of the king's 4428 house 1004 with all the servants 5650 of his lord, 113 and went not down 3381-1 to his house. 1004

11:10 And when they had told 5046-55 David, 1732 saying, 559- 2 Uriah 223 went not down 3381-1 unto his house, 1004 David 1732 said 559-4 unto Uriah, 223 Camest 935-6 thou not from [thy] journey? 1870 why [then] didst thou not go down 3381-1 unto thine house? 1004

11:11 And Uriah 223 said 559-4 unto David, 1732 The ark, 727 and Israel, 3478 and Judah, 3063 abide 3427-6 in tents; 5521 and my lord 113 Joab, 3097 and the servants 5650 of my lord, 113 are encamped 2583-6 in the open 6440 fields; 7704 shall I 589 then go 935-4 into mine house, 1004 to eat 398-2 and to drink, 8354-2 and to lie 7901-2 with my wife? 802 [as] thou livest, 2416 and [as] thy soul 5315 liveth, 2416 I will not do 6213-4 this thing. 1697

11:12 And David 1732 said 559-4 to Uriah, 223 Tarry 3427-3 here to day 3117 also, and to morrow 4279 I will let thee depart. 7971-17 So Uriah 223 abode 3427-4 in Jerusalem 3389 that day, 3117 and the morrow. 4283

11:13 And when David 1732 had called 7121-4 him, he did eat 398-4 and drink 8354-4 before 6440 him; and he made him drunk: 7937-17 and at even 6153 he went out 3318-4 to lie 7901-2 on his bed 4904 with the servants 5650 of his lord, 113 but went not down 3381-1 to his house. 1004

11:14 And it came to pass in the morning, 1242 that David 1732 wrote 3789-4 a letter 5612 to Joab, 3097 and sent 7971-4 [it] by the hand 3027 of Uriah. 223

11:15 And he wrote 3789-4 in the letter, 5612 saying, 559-2 Set 3051-3 ye Uriah 223 in the forefront 6440 4136 of the hottest 2389 battle, 4421 and retire 7725-1 ye from 310 him, that he may be smitten, 5221-8 and die. 4191-1

11:16 And it came to pass, when Joab 3097 observed 8104-2 the city, 5892 that he assigned 5414-4 Uriah 223 unto a place 4725 where he knew 3045-1 that valiant 2428 men 582 [were].

11:17 And the men 582 of the city 5892 went out, 3318-4 and fought 3898-11 with Joab: 3097 and there fell 5307-4 [some] of the people 5971 of the servants 5650 of David; 1732 and Uriah 223 the Hittite 2850 died 4191-4 also.

11:18 Then Joab 3097 sent 7971-4 and told 5046-55 David 1732 all the things 1697 concerning the war; 4421

11:19 And charged 6680-17 the messenger, 4397 saying, 559-2 When thou hast made an end 3615-15 of telling 1696-15 the matters 1697 of the war 4421 unto the king, 4428

11:20 And if so be that the king's 4428 wrath 2534 arise, 5927-4 and he say 559-1 unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh 5066-8 unto the city 5892 when ye did fight? 3898-9 knew 3045-1 ye not that they would shoot 3384-55 from the wall? 2346

11:21 Who smote 5221-52 Abimelech 40 the son 1121 of Jerubbesheth? 3380 did not a woman 802 cast 7993-52 a piece 6400 of a millstone 7393 upon him from the wall, 2346 that he died 4191-4 in Thebez? 8405 why went ye nigh 5066-8 the wall? 2346 then say 559-1 thou, Thy servant 5650 Uriah 223 the Hittite 2850 is dead 4191-1 also.

11:22 So the messenger 4397 went, 3212-4 and came 935-4 and shewed 5046-55 David 1732 all that Joab 3097 had sent 7971-1 him for.

11:23 And the messenger 4397 said 559-4 unto David, 1732 Surely the men 582 prevailed 1396-1 against us, and came out 3318-4 unto us into the field, 7704 and we were upon them even unto the entering 6607 of the gate. 8179

11:24 And the shooters 3384-56 shot 3384-55 from off the wall 2346 upon thy servants; 5650 and [some] of the king's 4428 servants 5650 be dead, 4191-4 and thy servant 5650 Uriah 223 the Hittite 2850 is dead 4191-1 also.

11:25 Then David 1732 said 559-4 unto the messenger, 4397 Thus shalt thou say 559-4 unto Joab, 3097 Let not this thing 1697 displease 3415-4 5869 thee, for the sword 2719 devoureth 398-4 one as 2090 well as another: 2088 make thy battle 4421 more strong 2388-54 against the city, 5892 and overthrow 2040-3 it: and encourage 2388-16 thou him.

11:26 And when the wife 802 of Uriah 223 heard 8085-4 that Uriah 223 her husband 376 was dead, 4191-1 she mourned 5594-4 for her husband. 1167
