11:1 ¶
And it came to pass,°
after the year°

at the time°
when kings°°°
go forth°°
[to battle], that David°
sent°°°
Joab,°
and his servants°
with°
him, and all°

and they destroyed°°°

But David°

still°°
at Jerusalem.° |

And it came to pass toward evening, that David arose off his couch, and walked on the roof of the king's house, and saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon. |

And it came to pass°
in an eveningtide,°°
that David°
arose°°
from off°°
his bed,°
and walked°°
upon°
the roof°
of the king's°
house:°
and from°°
the roof°
he saw°°
a woman°
washing°°
herself; and the woman°
[was] very°
beautiful°
to look°
upon.° |
|
11:3
And David sent and enquired about the woman: and [one] said, [Is] not this Beersheba{gr.Bersabee} the daughter of Aholiab{gr.Eliab}, the wife of Uriah{gr.Urias} the Hittite{gr.Chettite}? |
|
11:3
And David°
sent°°
and enquired°°
after the woman.°
And [one] said,°°
[Is] not°
this°
Bathsheba,°
the daughter°
of Eliam,°
the wife°
of Uriah°
the Hittite?° |
|
11:4
And David sent messengers, and took her, and went in to her, and he lay with her: and she was purified from her uncleanness, and returned to her house. |
|
11:4
And 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.° |
|
11:5
And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, I am with child. |
|
11:5
And the woman°
conceived,°°
and sent°°
and told°°
David,°
and said,°°
I°
[am] with child.° |
|
11:6 ¶
And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah{gr.Urias} the Hittite{gr.Chettite}; and Joab sent Uriah{gr.Urias} to David. |
|
11:6 ¶
And David°
sent°°
to°
Joab,°
[saying], Send°°°
me°
Uriah°
the Hittite.°
And Joab°
sent°°°
Uriah°
to°
David.° |
|
11:7
And Uriah{gr.Urias} arrived and went in to him, and David asked him how Joab was, and how the people were, and how the war went on. |
|
11:7
And when Uriah°
was come°°
unto°
him, David°
demanded°°
[of him] how Joab°
did,°
and how the people°
did,°
and how the war°
prospered.° |
|
11:8
And David said to Uriah{gr.Urias}, Go to thy house, and wash thy feet: and Uriah{gr.Urias} departed from the house of the king, and a portion [of meat] from the king followed him. |
|
11:8
And 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 meat] from the king.° |
|
11:9
And Uriah{gr.Urias} slept at the door of the king with the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house. |
|
11:9
But Uriah°
slept°°
at the door°
of the king's°
house°
with°
all°
the servants°
of his adon,°
and went°
not°
down°°
to°
his house.° |
|
11:10
And they brought David word, saying, Uriah{gr.Urias} has not gone down to his house. And David said to Uriah{gr.Urias}, Art thou not come from a journey? why hast thou not gone down to thy house? |
|
11:10
And when they had told°°
David,°
saying,°°
Uriah°
went not down°°°
unto°
his house,°
David°
said°°
unto°
Uriah,°
Camest°°
thou°
not°
from [thy] journey?°°
why°
[then] didst thou not°
go down°°
unto°
thine house?° |
|
11:11
And Uriah{gr.Urias} said to David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah{gr.Juda} dwell in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; and shall I go into my house to eat and drink, and lie with my wife? how [should I do this? as] thy soul lives, I will not do this thing. |
|
11:11
And Uriah°
said°°
unto°
David,°
The ark,°
and Israel,°
and Judah,°
abide°°
in tents;°
and my adon°
Joab,°
and the servants°
of my adon,°
are encamped°°
in°
the open°
fields;°
shall I°
then go°°
into°
mine house,°
to eat°°
and to drink,°°
and to lie°°
with°
my wife?°
[as] thou livest,°
and [as] thy soul°
liveth,°
I will not do°°°
this°
thing.° |
|
11:12
And David said to Uriah{gr.Urias}, Remain here to-day also, and to-morrow I will let thee go. So Uriah{gr.Urias} remained in Jerusalem that day and the day following. |
|
11:12
And David°
said°°
to°
Uriah,°
Tarry°°
here°
to day°
also,°
and to morrow°
I will let thee depart.°°
So Uriah°
abode°°
in Jerusalem°
that°
day,°
and the morrow.°° |
|
11:13
And David called him, and he ate before him and drank, and he made him drunk: and he went out in the evening to lie upon his bed with the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house. |
|
11:13
And when David°
had called°°
him, he did eat°°
and drink°°
before°
him; and he made him drunk:°°
and at even°
he went out°°
to lie°°
on his bed°
with°
the servants°
of his adon,°
but went°
not°
down°°
to°
his house.° |
|
11:14 ¶
And the morning came, and David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah{gr.Urias}. |
|
11:14 ¶
And it came to pass°
in the morning,°
that David°
wrote°°
a letter°
to°
Joab,°
and sent°°
[it] by the hand°
of Uriah.° |
|
11:15
And he wrote in the letter, saying, Station Uriah{gr.Urias} in front of the severe [part] of the fight, and retreat from behind him, so shall he be wounded and die. |
|
11:15
And he wrote°°
in the letter,°
saying,°°
Set°°
ye°
Uriah°
in°
the forefront°°
of the hottest°
battle,°
and retire°°
ye from°°
him,°
that he may be smitten,°°
and die.°° |
|
11:16
And it came to pass while Joab was watching against the city, that he set Uriah{gr.Urias} in a place where he knew that valiant men were. |
|
11:16
And it came to pass,°
when Joab°
observed°°°
the city,°
that he assigned°°°
Uriah°
unto°
a place°
where°°
he knew°°
that°
valiant°
men°°
[were]. |
|
11:17
And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and some of the people of the servants of David fell, and Uriah{gr.Urias} the Hittite{gr.Chettite} died also. |
|
11:17
And the men°°
of the city°
went out,°°
and fought°°
with°
Joab:°
and there fell°°
[some] of°
the people°
of the servants°°
of David;°
and Uriah°
the Hittite°
died°°
also.° |
|
11:18 ¶
And Joab sent, and reported to David all the events of the war, so as to tell them to the king. |
|
11:18 ¶
Then Joab°
sent°°
and told°°
David°°
all°
the things°
concerning the war;° |
|
11:19
And he charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast finished reporting all the events of the war to the king, |
|
11:19
And charged°°°
the messenger,°
saying,°°
When thou hast made an end°°
of telling°°
the matters°
of the war°
unto°
the king,° |
|
11:20
then it shall come to pass if the anger of the king shall arise, and he shall say to thee, Why did ye draw nigh to the city to fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from off the wall? |
|
11:20
And if°
so be°
that the king's°
wrath°
arise,°°
and he say°°
unto thee, Wherefore°
approached°
ye so nigh°°
unto°
the city°
when ye did fight?°°
knew°°
ye not°
that°
they would shoot°°
from°°
the wall?° |
|
11:21
Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal{gr.Jerobaal} son of Ner? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from above the wall, and he died in Thamasi? why did ye draw near to the wall? then thou shalt say, Thy servant Uriah{gr.Urias} the Hittite{gr.Chettite} is also dead. |
|
11:21
Who°
smote°°°
Abimelech°
the son°
of Jerubbesheth?°
did not°
a woman°
cast°°
a piece°
of a millstone°
upon°
him from°°
the wall,°
that he died°°
in Thebez?°
why°
went ye nigh°°°
the wall?°
then say°°
thou, Thy servant°
Uriah°
the Hittite°
is dead°°
also.° |
|
11:22 ¶
And the messenger of Joab went to the king to Jerusalem, and he came and reported to David all that Joab told him, all the affairs of the war. And David was very angry with Joab, and said to the messenger, Why did ye draw nigh to the wall to fight? knew ye not that ye would be wounded from off the wall? Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal{gr.Jerobaal}? did not a woman cast upon him a piece of millstone from the wall, and he died in Thamasi? why did ye draw near to the wall? |
|
11:22 ¶
So the messenger°
went,°°°
and came°°
and shewed°°
David°°
all°
that°
Joab°
had sent°°
him for. |
|
11:23
And the messenger said to David, The men prevailed against us, and they came out against us into the field, and we came upon them even to the door of the gate. |
|
11:23
And the messenger°
said°°
unto°
David,°
Surely°
the men°°
prevailed°°
against°
us, and came out°°
unto°
us into the field,°
and we were°
upon°
them even unto°
the entering°
of the gate.° |
|
11:24
And the archers shot at thy servants from off the wall, and some of the king's servants died, and thy servant Uriah{gr.Urias} the Hittite{gr.Chettite} is dead also. |
|
11:24
And the shooters°°
shot°°
from off°°
the wall°
upon°
thy servants;°
and [some] of the king's°
servants°°°
be dead,°°
and thy servant°
Uriah°
the Hittite°
is dead°°
also.° |
|
11:25
And David said to the messenger, Thus shalt thou say to Joab, Let not the matter be grievous in thine eyes, for the sword devours one way at one time and another way at another: strengthen thine array against the city, and destroy it, and strengthen him. |
|
11:25
Then David°
said°°
unto°
the messenger,°
Thus°
shalt thou say°°
unto°
Joab,°
Let not°°
this°
thing°
displease°°°
thee, for°
the sword°
devoureth°°
one°
as well as another:°
make thy battle°
more strong°°
against°
the city,°
and overthrow°°
it: and encourage°°
thou him. |
|
11:26 ¶
And the wife of Uriah{gr.Urias} heard that Uriah{gr.Urias} her husband was dead, and she mourned for her husband. |
|
11:26 ¶
And when the wife°
of Uriah°
heard°°
that°
Uriah°
her husband°
was dead,°°
she mourned°°
for°
her husband.° |
|
11:27
And the time of mourning expired, and David sent and took her into his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son: but the thing which David did was evil in the eyes of the Lord. |
|
11:27
And when the mourning°
was past,°°
David°
sent°°
and fetched°°
her to°
his house,°
and she became°
his wife,°
and bare°°
him a son.°
But the thing°
that°
David°
had done°°
displeased°°°
Yahweh.° |
