*
So David sent messengers ,
and took her ;
and she came to him ,
and he lay with her . (
Now she was purifying herself from her uncleanness .)
Then she returned to her house .
*
And the woman conceived ;
and she sent and told David , "
I am with child ."
*
So David sent word to Jo '
ab , "
Send me Uri '
ah the Hittite ."
And Jo '
ab sent Uri '
ah to David .
*
When Uri '
ah came to him ,
David asked how Jo '
ab was doing ,
and how the people fared ,
and how the war prospered .
*
Then David said to Uri '
ah , "
Go down to your house ,
and wash your feet ."
And Uri '
ah went out of the king '
s house ,
and there followed him a present from the king .
*
But Uri '
ah slept at the door of the king '
s house with all the servants of his lord ,
and did not go down to his house .
*
When they told David , "
Uri '
ah did not go down to his house ,"
David said to Uri '
ah , "
Have you not come from a journey ?
Why did you not go down to your house ?"
*
Uri '
ah said to David , "
The ark and Israel and Judah dwell in booths ;
and my lord Jo '
ab and the servants of my lord are camping in the open field ;
shall I then go to 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 ."
*
Then David said to Uri '
ah , "
Remain here today also ,
and tomorrow I will let you depart ."
So Uri '
ah remained in Jerusalem that day ,
and the next .
*
And David invited him ,
and he ate in his presence and drank ,
so that he made him drunk ;
and in the evening he went out to lie on his couch with the servants of his lord ,
but he did not go down to his house .
