11:2 One evening David got up from his
bed and
walked around on the
roof of his
palace.
From the
roof he
saw a
woman bathing. Now this
woman was
very attractive.
3 So
David sent someone to
inquire about the
woman. The messenger
said, “
Isn’t this Bathsheba, the
daughter of
Eliam, the
wife of
Uriah the
Hittite?”
4 David sent some messengers to get her. She came to him and he went to bed with her. (Now at that time she was in the process of purifying herself from her menstrual uncleanness.) Then she returned to her home. 5 The woman conceived and then sent word to David saying, “I’m pregnant.”
