And it came to pass, after the yearH8141 was expiredH8666, at the timeH6256 when kingsH4428+H4397 go forthH3318 to battle, that DavidH1732 sentH7971 JoabH3097, and his servantsH5650 with him, and all IsraelH3478; and they destroyedH7843 the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and besiegedH6696 RabbahH7237. But DavidH1732 tarried stillH3427 at JerusalemH3389. {after…: Heb. at the return of the year}
And it came to pass in an eveningtideH6153+H6256, that DavidH1732 aroseH6965 from off his bedH4904, and walkedH1980 upon the roofH1406 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004: and from the roofH1406 he sawH7200 a womanH802 washingH7364 herself; and the womanH802 was veryH3966 beautifulH2896 to look uponH4758.
And DavidH1732 sentH7971 and enquiredH1875 after the womanH802. And one saidH559, Is not this BathshebaH1339, the daughterH1323 of EliamH463, the wifeH802 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850?
And DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397, and tookH3947 her; and she came inH935 unto him, and he layH7901 with her; for she was purifiedH6942 from her uncleannessH2932: and she returnedH7725 unto her houseH1004. {for she…: or, and when she had purified herself, etc, she returned}
And the womanH802 conceivedH2029, and sentH7971 and toldH5046 DavidH1732, and saidH559, I am with childH2030.
And DavidH1732 sentH7971 to JoabH3097, saying, SendH7971 me UriahH223 the HittiteH2850. And JoabH3097 sentH7971 UriahH223 to DavidH1732.
And when UriahH223 was comeH935 unto him, DavidH1732 demandedH7592 of him how JoabH3097 didH7965, and how the peopleH5971 didH7965, and how the warH4421 prosperedH7965. {how Joab…: Heb. of the peace of, etc}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to UriahH223, Go downH3381 to thy houseH1004, and washH7364 thy feetH7272. And UriahH223 departed outH3318 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and there followedH310 him a messH4864 of meat from the kingH4428. {followed…: Heb. went out after him}
But UriahH223 sleptH7901 at the doorH6607 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004 with all the servantsH5650 of his lordH113, and went not downH3381 to his houseH1004.
And when they had toldH5046 DavidH1732, sayingH559, UriahH223 went not downH3381 unto his houseH1004, DavidH1732 saidH559 unto UriahH223, CamestH935 thou not from thy journeyH1870? why then didst thou not go downH3381 unto thine houseH1004?
And UriahH223 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, The arkH727, and IsraelH3478, and JudahH3063, abideH3427 in tentsH5521; and my lordH113 JoabH3097, and the servantsH5650 of my lordH113, are encampedH2583 in the openH6440 fieldsH7704; shall IH589 then goH935 into mine houseH1004, to eatH398 and to drinkH8354, and to lieH7901 with my wifeH802? as thou livestH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, I will not doH6213 this thingH1697.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to UriahH223, TarryH3427 here to dayH3117 also, and to morrowH4279 I will let thee departH7971. So UriahH223 abodeH3427 in JerusalemH3389 that dayH3117, and the morrowH4283.
And when DavidH1732 had calledH7121 him, he did eatH398 and drinkH8354 beforeH6440 him; and he made him drunkH7937: and at evenH6153 he went outH3318 to lieH7901 on his bedH4904 with the servantsH5650 of his lordH113, but went not downH3381 to his houseH1004.
And it came to pass in the morningH1242, that DavidH1732 wroteH3789 a letterH5612 to JoabH3097, and sentH7971 it by the handH3027 of UriahH223.
And he wroteH3789 in the letterH5612, sayingH559, SetH3051 ye UriahH223 in the forefrontH6440+H4136 of the hottestH2389 battleH4421, and retireH7725 ye from himH310, that he may be smittenH5221, and dieH4191. {hottest: Heb. strong} {from him: Heb. from after him}
And it came to pass, when JoabH3097 observedH8104 the cityH5892, that he assignedH5414 UriahH223 unto a placeH4725 where he knewH3045 that valiantH2428 menH582 were.
And the menH582 of the cityH5892 went outH3318, and foughtH3898 with JoabH3097: and there fellH5307 some of the peopleH5971 of the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732; and UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 diedH4191 also.
Then JoabH3097 sentH7971 and toldH5046 DavidH1732 all the thingsH1697 concerning the warH4421;
And chargedH6680 the messengerH4397, sayingH559, When thou hast made an endH3615 of tellingH1696 the mattersH1697 of the warH4421 unto the kingH4428,
And if so be that the king'sH4428 wrathH2534 ariseH5927, and he sayH559 unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nighH5066 unto the cityH5892 when ye did fightH3898? knewH3045 ye not that they would shootH3384 from the wallH2346?
Who smoteH5221 AbimelechH40 the sonH1121 of JerubbeshethH3380? did not a womanH802 castH7993 a pieceH6400 of a millstoneH7393 upon him from the wallH2346, that he diedH4191 in ThebezH8405? why went ye nighH5066 the wallH2346? then sayH559 thou, Thy servantH5650 UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 is deadH4191 also.
So the messengerH4397 wentH3212, and cameH935 and shewedH5046 DavidH1732 all that JoabH3097 had sentH7971 him for.
And the messengerH4397 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Surely the menH582 prevailedH1396 against us, and came outH3318 unto us into the fieldH7704, and we were upon them even unto the enteringH6607 of the gateH8179.
And the shootersH3384 shotH3384 from off the wallH2346 upon thy servantsH5650; and some of the king'sH4428 servantsH5650 be deadH4191, and thy servantH5650 UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 is deadH4191 also.
Then DavidH1732 saidH559 unto the messengerH4397, Thus shalt thou sayH559 unto JoabH3097, Let not this thingH1697 displeaseH3415+H5869 thee, for the swordH2719 devourethH398 one as well as anotherH2090: make thy battleH4421 more strongH2388 against the cityH5892, and overthrowH2040 it: and encourageH2388 thou him. {displease…: Heb. be evil in thine eyes} {one…: Heb. so and such}
And when the wifeH802 of UriahH223 heardH8085 that UriahH223 her husbandH376 was deadH4191, she mournedH5594 for her husbandH1167.
And when the mourningH60 was pastH5674, DavidH1732 sentH7971 and fetchedH622 her to his houseH1004, and she became his wifeH802, and bareH3205 him a sonH1121. But the thingH1697 that DavidH1732 had doneH6213 displeasedH3415+H5869 the LORDH3068. {displeased: Heb. was evil in the eyes of}

So she wroteH3789 lettersH5612 in Ahab'sH256 nameH8034, and sealedH2856 them with his sealH2368, and sentH7971 the lettersH5612 unto the eldersH2205 and to the noblesH2715 that were in his cityH5892, dwellingH3427 with NabothH5022.
And she wroteH3789 in the lettersH5612, sayingH559, ProclaimH7121 a fastH6685, and setH3427 NabothH5022 on highH7218 among the peopleH5971: {on high…: Heb. in the top of the people}
And setH3427 twoH8147 menH582, sonsH1121 of BelialH1100, before him, to bear witnessH5749 against him, sayingH559, Thou didst blasphemeH1288 GodH430 and the kingH4428. And then carry him outH3318, and stoneH5619 him, that he may dieH4191.
Keep backH2820 thy servantH5650 also from presumptuousH2086 sins; let them not have dominionH4910 over me: then shall I be uprightH8552, and I shall be innocentH5352 from the greatH7227 transgressionH6588. {the great: or, much}
Thy tongueH3956 devisethH2803 mischiefsH1942; like a sharpH3913 razorH8593, workingH6213 deceitfullyH7423.
Surely menH120+H1121 of low degree are vanityH1892, and menH376 of high degree are a lieH3577: to be laidH5927 in the balanceH3976, they are altogetherH3162 lighter than vanityH1892. {altogether: or, alike}
Oh thatH5414 my headH7218 were watersH4325, and mine eyesH5869 a fountainH4726 of tearsH1832, that I might weepH1058 dayH3119 and nightH3915 for the slainH2491 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971! {Oh…: Heb. Who will give my head, etc}
Oh thatH5414 I had in the wildernessH4057 a lodging placeH4411 of wayfaring menH732; that I might leaveH5800 my peopleH5971, and goH3212 from them! for they be all adulterersH5003, an assemblyH6116 of treacherous menH898.
And they bendH1869 their tonguesH3956 like their bowH7198 for liesH8267: but they are not valiantH1396 for the truthH530 upon the earthH776; for they proceedH3318 from evilH7451 to evilH7451, and they knowH3045 not me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Take ye heedH8104 every oneH376 of his neighbourH7453, and trustH982 ye not in any brotherH251: for every brotherH251 will utterlyH6117 supplantH6117, and every neighbourH7453 will walkH1980 with slandersH7400. {neighbour: or, friend}
The heartH3820 is deceitfulH6121 above all things, and desperately wickedH605: who can knowH3045 it?
That they may do evilH7451 with both handsH3709 earnestlyH3190, the princeH8269 askethH7592, and the judgeH8199 asketh for a rewardH7966; and the greatH1419 man, he utterethH1696 his mischievousH1942 desireH5315: so they wrap it upH5686. {his…: Heb. the mischief of his soul}
The bestH2896 of them is as a brierH2312: the most uprightH3477 is sharper than a thorn hedgeH4534: the dayH3117 of thy watchmenH6822 and thy visitationH6486 comethH935; now shall be their perplexityH3998.
TrustH539 ye not in a friendH7453, put ye not confidenceH982 in a guideH441: keepH8104 the doorsH6607 of thy mouthH6310 from her that liethH7901 in thy bosomH2436.
