4David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in to him, and he lay with her (for she was purified from her uncleanness); and she returned to her house.
5The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
6David sent to Joab, [saying], Send me Uriah the Hittite. Joab sent Uriah to David.
7When Uriah was come to him, David asked of him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.
8David said to Uriah, Go down to your house, and wash your feet. 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 didn`t go down to his house.
10When they had told David, saying, Uriah didn`t go down to his house, David said to Uriah, Haven`t you come from a journey? why did you not go down to your house?
