* It happened in the spring 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 people of Ammon and besieged Rabbah . But David remained at Jerusalem . * Then it happened one evening that David arose from 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 behold . * So David sent and inquired about the woman . And someone said , "Is this not Bathsheba , the daughter of Eliam , the wife of Uriah the Hittite ?" * Then David sent messengers , and took her ; and she came to him , and he lay with her , for she was cleansed from her impurity ; and she returned to her house . * And the woman conceived ; so she sent and told David , and said , "I am with child ."
