1 | It happened, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go out [to battle], that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. | 1Ki 20:22 1Ki 20:26 2Ch 36:10 Ec 3:8 |
2 | It happened at evening, that David arose from off his bed, and walked on the roof of the king`s house: and from the roof he saw a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful to look on. | 2Sa 4:5 2Sa 4:7 Pr 19:15 Pr 24:33 Pr 24:34 Mt 26:40 Mt 26:41 1Th 5:6 1Th 5:7 1Pe 4:7 |
3 | David send and inquired after the woman. One said, Is not this Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite? | Jer 5:8 Hos 7:6 Hos 7:7 Jm 1:14 Jm 1:15 |
4 | David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in to him, and he lay with her (for she was purified from her uncleanness); and she returned to her house. | Gn 39:7 Jb 31:9-11 Ps 50:18 |
5 | The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, I am with child. | Dt 22:22 Pr 6:34 |
6 | David sent to Joab, [saying], Send me Uriah the Hittite. Joab sent Uriah to David. | Gn 4:7 Gn 38:18-23 1Sa 15:30 Jb 20:12-14 Pr 28:13 Isa 29:13 Mt 26:70 Mt 26:72 Mt 26:74 |
7 | When Uriah was come to him, David asked of him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered. | Gn 29:6 Gn 37:14 1Sa 17:22 |
8 | David said to Uriah, Go down to your house, and wash your feet. Uriah departed out of the king`s house, and there followed him a mess [of food] from the king. | Ps 44:21 Isa 29:15 Lk 12:2 Heb 4:13 |
9 | But Uriah slept at the door of the king`s house with all the servants of his lord, and didn`t go down to his house. | Jb 5:12-14 Pr 21:30 |
10 | When they had told David, saying, Uriah didn`t go down to his house, David said to Uriah, Haven`t you come from a journey? why did you not go down to your house? |
11 | Uriah said to David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in booths; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open field; shall I then go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing. | 2Sa 7:2 2Sa 7:6 1Sa 4:4 1Sa 14:18 |
12 | David said to Uriah, Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the next day. | Jer 2:22 Jer 2:23 Jer 2:37 |
13 | When David had called him, he ate and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but didn`t go down to his house. | Gn 19:32-35 Ex 32:21 Hab 2:15 |
14 | It happened in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah. | 1Ki 21:8-10 Ps 19:13 Ps 52:2 Ps 62:9 Jer 9:1-4 Jer 17:9 Mic 7:3-5 |
15 | He wrote in the letter, saying, Set you Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire you from him, that he may be struck, and die. | 2Sa 11:17 1Sa 18:17 1Sa 18:21 1Sa 18:25 Ps 51:4 Ps 51:14 Jer 20:13 |
16 | It happened, when Joab kept watch on the city, that he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were. | 2Sa 11:21 2Sa 3:27 2Sa 20:9 2Sa 20:10 1Sa 22:17-19 1Ki 2:5 1Ki 2:31-34 1Ki 21:12-14 2Ki 10:6 Pr 29:12 Hos 5:11 Ac 5:29 |
17 | The men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also. | 2Sa 12:9 Ps 51:14 |
18 | Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war; |
19 | and he charged the messenger, saying, "When you have made an end of telling all the things concerning the war to the king, |
20 | it shall be that, if the king`s wrath arise, and he tells you, `Why did you go so near to the city to fight? Didn`t you know that they would shoot from the wall? |
21 | who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Didn`t a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?` then shall you say, `Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.`" | Jg 9:53 |
22 | So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for. |
23 | The messenger said to David, The men prevailed against us, and came out to us into the field, and we were on them even to the entrance of the gate. |
24 | The shooters shot at your servants from off the wall; and some of the king`s servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. |
25 | Then David said to the messenger, Thus shall you tell Joab, Don`t let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another; make your battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage you him. | Jsh 7:8 Jsh 7:9 1Sa 6:9 Ec 9:1-3 Ec 9:11-3 Ec 9:12-3 |
26 | When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made lamentation for her husband. | 2Sa 3:31 2Sa 14:2 Gn 27:41 |
27 | When the mourning was past, David sent and took her home to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased Yahweh. | 2Sa 3:2-5 2Sa 5:13-16 2Sa 12:9 Dt 22:29 |
