3And David send and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?
4And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her (for she was purified from her uncleanness); and she returned unto her house.
5And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
6And David sent to Joab, [saying], Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
7And when Uriah was come unto him, David asked of him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.
8And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king`s house, and there followed him a mess [of food] from the king.
9But Uriah slept at the door of the king`s house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
