| 2SM:11:3 | Therefore, the king sent and inquired who the woman might be. And it was reported to him that she was Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah, the Hittite. |
| 2SM:11:6 | Then David sent to Joab, saying, "Send me Uriah, the Hittite." And Joab sent Uriah to David. |
| 2SM:11:7 | And Uriah went to David. And David inquired whether Joab was doing well, and about the people, and how the war was being conducted. |
| 2SM:11:8 | And David said to Uriah, "Go into your house, and wash your feet." And Uriah departed from the house of the king. And a meal from the king followed after him. |
| 2SM:11:9 | But Uriah slept before the gate of the king's house, with the other servants of his lord, and he did not go down to his own house. |
| 2SM:11:10 | And it was reported to David by some, saying, "Uriah did not go into his house." And David said to Uriah: "Did you not arrive from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?" |
| 2SM:11:11 | And Uriah said to David: "The ark of God, and Israel and Judah, dwell in tents, and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, stay upon the face of the earth. And should I then go into my own house, so that I may eat and drink, and sleep with my wife? By your welfare and by the welfare of your soul, I will not do this thing." |
| 2SM:11:12 | Therefore, David said to Uriah, "Even so, remain here today, and tomorrow I will send you away." So Uriah remained in Jerusalem, on that day and the next. |
| 2SM:11:14 | Therefore, when morning arrived, David wrote a letter to Joab. And he sent it by the hand of Uriah, |
| 2SM:11:15 | writing in the letter: "Place Uriah opposite the warfare, where the battle is the strongest, and then abandon him, so that, having been wounded, he may die." |
| 2SM:11:16 | And so, when Joab was besieging the city, he positioned Uriah in the place where he knew the strongest men to be. |
| 2SM:11:17 | And the men, departing from the city, made war against Joab. And some of the people among the servants of David fell, and Uriah the Hittite also died. |
| 2SM:11:21 | Who struck down Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal? Did not a woman throw a fragment of a millstone upon him from the wall, and so kill him at Thebez? Why did you approach beside the wall?' then you shall say: 'Your servant Uriah, the Hittite, also lies dead.' " |
| 2SM:11:24 | And the archers directed their arrows at your servants from the wall above. And some of the king's servants died, and then also your servant Uriah the Hittite died." |
| 2SM:11:26 | Then the wife of Uriah heard that her husband Uriah had died, and she mourned for him. |
