1 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , after the year H8141 was expired H8666 , at the time H6256 L-CMS when kings H4428 go forth H3318 to battle , that David H1732 MMS sent H7971 W-VQY3MS Joab H3097 , and his servants H5650 with H5973 PREP-3MS him , and all H3605 NMS Israel H3478 ; and they destroyed H7843 the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 , and besieged H6696 Rabbah H7237 . But David H1732 tarried H3427 VQPMS still at Jerusalem H3389 .
2 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS in an eveningtide H6256 L-CMS , that David H1732 MMS arose H6965 W-VQY3MS from off H5921 M-PREP his bed H4904 CMS-3MS , and walked H1980 W-VTY3MS upon H5921 M-PREP the roof H1406 of the king H4428 D-NMS \'s house H1004 CMS : and from M-PREP the roof H1406 he saw H7200 W-VIY3MS a woman H802 NFS washing H7364 herself ; and the woman H802 was very H3966 ADV beautiful H2896 to look H4758 NMS upon .
3 And David H1732 MMS sent H7971 W-VQY3MS and inquired H1875 after the woman H802 . And one said H559 W-VQY3MS , Is not H3808 D-NPAR this H2063 DPRO Bath H1339 - sheba , the daughter H1323 CFS of Eliam H463 , the wife H802 CFS of Uriah H223 the Hittite H2850 ?
4 And David H1732 MMS sent H7971 W-VQY3MS messengers H4397 , and took H3947 W-VQY3MS her ; and she came H935 W-VQY3FS in unto H413 PREP-3MS him , and he lay H7901 W-VQY3MS with her H5973 PREP-3FS ; for she H1931 was purified H6942 from her uncleanness H2932 : and she returned H7725 W-VQY3FS unto H413 PREP her house H1004 .
5 And the woman H802 D-NFS conceived H2029 W-VQY3FS , and sent H7971 and told H5046 David H1732 L-NAME , and said H559 W-VQY3FS , I H595 PPRO-1MS am with child H2030 .
6 And David H1732 MMS sent H7971 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Joab H3097 , saying , Send H7971 me Uriah H223 the Hittite H2850 . And Joab H3097 sent H7971 W-VQY3MS Uriah H223 to H413 PREP David H1732 .
7 And when Uriah H223 was come H935 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , David H1732 MMS demanded H7592 W-VQY3MS of him how Joab H3097 did H7965 , and how the people H5971 did H7965 , and how the war H4421 prospered H7965 .
8 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS to Uriah H223 , Go down H3381 to thy house H1004 , and wash H7364 thy feet H7272 . And Uriah H223 departed H3318 W-VQY3MS out of the king\'s house H1004 , and there followed H310 PREP-3MS him a mess H4864 of meat from the king H4428 D-NMS .
9 But Uriah H223 slept H7901 W-VQY3MS at the door H6607 CMS of the king H4428 D-NMS \'s house H1004 CMS with H854 PREP all H3605 NMS the servants H5650 of his lord H113 , and went H3381 VQQ3MS not H3808 W-NPAR down to H413 PREP his house H1004 CMS-3MS .
10 And when they had told H5046 David H1732 L-NAME , saying H559 W-VQY3MS , Uriah H223 went not down H3381 VQQ3MS unto H413 PREP his house H1004 NMS-3MS , David H1732 L-NAME said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Uriah H223 , Camest H935 thou H859 PPRO-2MS not H3808 ADV from thy journey H1870 ? why H4069 IPRO then didst thou not H3808 ADV go down H3381 unto H413 PREP thine house H1004 ?
11 And Uriah H223 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , The ark H727 , and Israel H3478 , and Judah H3063 , abide H3427 in tents H5521 ; and my lord H113 Joab H3097 , and the servants H5650 of my lord H113 , are encamped H2583 in H5921 PREP the open H6440 CMP fields H7704 D-NMS ; shall I H589 W-PPRO-1MS then go H935 VQI1MS into H413 PREP mine house H1004 CMS-1MS , to eat H398 L-VQFC and to drink H8354 WL-VQFC , and to lie H7901 with H5973 PREP my wife H802 CFS-1MS ? as thou livest H2416 , and as thy soul H5315 liveth H2416 , I will not do H6213 this H2088 D-PMS thing H1697 D-NMS .
12 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Uriah H223 , Tarry H3427 here H2088 today H3117 D-AMS also H1571 CONJ , and tomorrow H4279 I will let thee depart H7971 . So Uriah H223 abode H3427 W-VQY3MS in Jerusalem H3389 that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS , and the morrow H4283 .
13 And when David H1732 had called H7121 W-VQY3MS him , he did eat H398 and drink H8354 W-VQY3MS before H6440 L-CMP-3MS him ; and he made him drunk H7937 : and at even H6153 he went out H3318 W-VQY3MS to lie H7901 on his bed H4904 with H5973 PREP the servants H5650 of his lord H113 , but went H3381 not H3808 NADV down to H413 W-PREP his house H1004 NMS-3MS .
14 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS in the morning H1242 , that David H1732 MMS wrote H3789 a letter H5612 CMS to H413 PREP Joab H3097 , and sent H7971 W-VQY3MS it by the hand H3027 B-CFS of Uriah H223 .
15 And he wrote H3789 in the letter H5612 BD-NMS , saying H559 L-VQFC , Set H3051 VQI2MP ye Uriah H223 in H413 PREP the forefront H4136 of the hottest H2389 battle H4421 , and retire H7725 ye from him , that he may be smitten H5221 , and die H4191 .
16 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when Joab H3097 observed H8104 the city H5892 D-GFS , that he assigned H5414 W-VQQ3MS Uriah H223 unto H413 PREP a place H4725 D-NMS where H834 RPRO he knew H3045 VQQ3MS that H3588 CONJ valiant H2428 NMS men H376 CMP were .
17 And the men H376 of the city H5892 D-GFS went out H3318 W-VQY3MP , and fought H3898 with H854 PREP Joab H3097 : and there fell H5307 W-VQY3MS some of H4480 PREP the people H5971 of the servants H5650 of David H1732 ; and Uriah H223 the Hittite H2850 died H4191 W-VQY3MS also H1571 CONJ .
18 Then Joab H3097 sent H7971 W-VQY3MS and told H5046 W-VHY3MS David H1732 L-NAME all H3605 NMS the things H1697 CMP concerning the war H4421 ;
19 And charged H6680 W-VPY3MS the messenger H4397 , saying H559 L-VQFC , When thou hast made an end H3615 of telling H1696 the matters H1697 CMP of the war H4421 unto H413 PREP the king H4428 ,
20 And if H518 PART so be H1961 W-VQQ3MS that the king H4428 D-NMS \'s wrath H2534 arise H5927 , and he say H559 unto thee , Wherefore H4069 IPRO approached H5066 ye so nigh unto H413 PREP the city H5892 D-GFS when ye did fight H3898 ? knew H3045 ye not H3808 D-NPAR that H834 RPRO they would shoot H3384 from M-PREP the wall H2346 ?
21 Who H4310 IPRO smote H5221 Abimelech H40 the son H1121 of Jerubbesheth H3380 ? did not H3808 a woman H802 NFS cast H7993 a piece H6400 of a millstone H7393 upon H5921 PREP-3MS him from PREP-3MS the wall H2346 , that he died H4191 W-VQY3MS in Thebez H8405 ? why H4100 L-IPRO went ye nigh H5066 the wall H2346 ? then say H559 thou , Thy servant H5650 Uriah H223 the Hittite H2850 is dead H4191 also H1571 CONJ .
22 So the messenger H4397 went H1980 W-VQY3MS , and came H935 W-VQY3MS and showed H5046 W-VHY3MS David H1732 L-NAME all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO Joab H3097 had sent H7971 him for .
23 And the messenger H4397 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , Surely H3588 CONJ the men H376 prevailed H1396 against H5921 PREP-1MP us , and came out H3318 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP us into the field H7704 D-NMS , and we were H1961 upon H5921 PREP-3MP them even unto H5704 PREP the entering H6607 CMS of the gate H8179 .
24 And the shooters H3384 shot H3384 from off H5921 M-PREP the wall H2346 upon H413 PREP thy servants H5650 ; and some of the king\'s servants H5650 be dead H4191 W-VQY3MP , and thy servant H5650 Uriah H223 the Hittite H2850 is dead H4191 also H1571 W-CONJ .
25 Then David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the messenger H4397 , Thus H3541 shalt thou say H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Joab H3097 , Let not H408 NPAR this H2088 D-PMS thing H1697 D-NMS displease H5869 thee , for H3588 CONJ the sword H2719 devoureth H398 VQY2MS one H2088 as well as another H2090 : make thy battle H4421 more strong H2388 against H413 PREP the city H5892 D-GFS , and overthrow H2040 it : and encourage H2388 thou him .
26 And when the wife H802 CFS of Uriah H223 heard H8085 that H3588 CONJ Uriah H223 her husband H376 was dead H4191 , she mourned H5594 for H5921 PREP her husband H1167 .
27 And when the mourning H60 was past H5674 W-VQY3MS , David H1732 MMS sent H7971 W-VQY3MS and fetched H622 her to H413 PREP his house H1004 NMS-3MS , and she became H1961 W-VQY3FS his wife H802 L-NFS , and bore H3205 W-VQY3FS him a son H1121 NMS . But the thing H1697 D-NMS that H834 RPRO David H1732 had done H6213 VQQ3MS displeased H5869 B-CMP the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
