5 The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
6 David sent to Joab, [saying], Send me Uriah the Hittite. Joab sent Uriah to David.
7 When Uriah was come to him, David asked of him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.
8 David 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.
9 But 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.
10 When 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?
11 Uriah said to David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in booths; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open field; shall I then go into 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.
