11:1 And
it
came
to
passe,
that
after
the
yeere
was
expired,
at
the
time
when
kings
goe
foorth
to
battell,
that
Dauid
sent
Ioab
and
his
seruants
with
him,
and
all
Israel;
and
they
destroyed
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
besieged
Rabbah:
but
Dauid
taried
still
at
Ierusalem.
11:2 And
it
came
to
passe
in
an
euening
tide,
that
Dauid
arose
from
off
his
bed,
and
walked
vpon
the
roofe
of
the
kings
house:
and
from
the
roofe
he
saw
a
woman
washing
her
selfe;
and
the
woman
was
very
beautifull
to
looke
vpon.
11:3 And
Dauid
sent
and
enquired
after
the
woman:
and
one
said,
Is
not
this
Bath-sheba
the
daughter
of
Eliam,
the
wife
of
Uriah
the
Hittite
11:4 And
Dauid
sent
messengers,
and
tooke
her,
and
shee
came
in
vnto
him,
and
he
lay
with
her,
(
for
she
was
purified
from
her
vncleannesse)
and
shee
returned
vnto
her
house.
11:5 And
the
woman
conceiued,
and
sent
and
tolde
Dauid,
and
said,
I
am
with
childe.
11:6 And
Dauid
sent
to
Ioab,
saying,
Send
me
Uriah
the
Hittite.
And
Ioab
sent
Uriah
to
Dauid.
11:7 And
when
Uriah
was
come
vnto
him,
Dauid
demanded
of
him
how
Ioab
did,
and
how
the
people
did,
and
how
the
warre
prospered.
11:8 And
Dauid
said
to
Uriah,
Goe
downe
to
thy
house,
and
wash
thy
feete.
And
Uriah
departed
out
of
the
Kings
house,
and
there
followed
him
a
messe
of
meat
from
the
king.
11:9 But
Uriah
slept
at
the
doore
of
the
kings
house,
with
all
the
seruants
of
his
lord,
and
went
not
downe
to
his
house.
11:10 And
when
they
had
tolde
Dauid,
saying,
Uriah
went
not
downe
vnto
his
house,
Dauid
said
vnto
Uriah,
Camest
thou
not
from
thy
iourney
why
then
diddest
thou
not
goe
downe
vnto
thine
house
11:11 And
Uriah
said
vnto
Dauid,
The
Arke,
and
Israel,
and
Iudah
abide
in
tents,
and
my
lord
Ioab,
and
the
seruants
of
my
lord
are
encamped
in
the
open
fields;
shall
I
then
goe
into
mine
house,
to
eate
and
to
drinke,
and
to
lie
with
my
wife
As
thou
liuest,
and
as
thy
soule
liueth,
I
will
not
doe
this
thing.
11:12 And
Dauid
said
to
Uriah,
Tary
here
to
day
also,
and
to
morow
I
will
let
thee
depart.
So
Uriah
abode
in
Ierusalem
that
day,
and
the
morrow.
11:13 And
when
Dauid
had
called
him,
hee
did
eate
and
drinke
before
him,
and
he
made
him
drunke:
and
at
euen
hee
went
out
to
lie
on
his
bed
with
the
seruants
of
his
lord,
but
went
not
downe
to
his
house.
11:14 And
it
came
to
passe
in
the
morning,
that
Dauid
wrote
a
letter
to
Ioab,
and
sent
it
by
the
hand
of
Uriah.
11:15 And
he
wrote
in
the
letter,
saying,
Set
yee
Uriah
in
the
forefront
of
the
hottest
battel,
and
retire
ye
from
him,
that
he
may
be
smitten,
and
die.
11:16 And
it
came
to
passe
when
Ioab
obserued
the
citie,
that
he
assigned
Uriah
vnto
a
place
where
hee
knewe
that
valiant
men
were.
11:17 And
the
men
of
the
city
went
out,
and
fought
with
Ioab:
and
there
fell
some
of
the
people
of
the
seruants
of
Dauid,
and
Uriah
the
Hittite
died
also.
11:18 Then
Ioab
sent,
and
tolde
Dauid
all
the
things
concerning
the
warre:
11:19 And
charged
the
messenger,
saying,
When
thou
hast
made
an
ende
of
telling
the
matters
of
the
warre
vnto
the
King;
11:20 And
if
so
be
that
the
kings
wrath
arise,
and
hee
say
vnto
thee,
Wherefore
approched
ye
so
nigh
vnto
the
city
when
yee
did
fight
Knew
yee
not
that
they
would
shoot
from
the
wall
11:21 Who
smote
Abimelech
the
sonne
of
Ierubesheth
Did
not
a
woman
cast
a
piece
of
a
milstone
vpon
him
from
the
wall,
that
he
died
in
Thebez
why
went
ye
nigh
the
wall
Then
say
thou,
Thy
seruant
Uriah
the
Hittite
is
dead
also.
11:22 So
the
messenger
went,
and
came
and
shewed
Dauid
all
that
Ioab
had
sent
him
for.
11:23 And
the
messenger
said
vnto
Dauid,
Surely
the
men
preuailed
against
vs,
and
came
out
vnto
vs
into
the
field,
and
we
were
vpon
them
euen
vnto
the
entring
of
the
gate.
11:24 And
the
shooters
shot
from
off
the
wall
vpon
thy
seruants,
and
some
of
the
Kings
seruants
be
dead,
and
thy
seruant
Uriah
the
Hittite
is
dead
also.
11:25 Then
Dauid
said
vnto
the
messenger,
Thus
shalt
thou
say
vnto
Ioab,
Let
not
this
thing
displease
thee:
for
the
sword
deuoureth
one
as
well
as
another:
Make
thy
battell
more
strong
against
the
citie,
and
ouerthrow
it;
and
encourage
thou
him.
11:26 And
when
the
wife
of
Uriah
heard
that
Uriah
her
husband
was
dead,
she
mourned
for
her
husband.
11:27 And
when
the
mourning
was
past,
Dauid
sent,
and
fet
her
to
his
house,
and
she
became
his
wife,
and
bare
him
a
sonne:
but
the
thing
that
Dauid
had
done,
displeased
the
Lord.
