2 Samuel 11

KJV

1  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ after the year⁸¹⁴¹ was expired,⁸⁶⁶⁶ at the time⁶²⁵⁶ when kings⁴⁴²⁸ go forth³³¹⁸ to battle, that David¹⁷³² sent^{7971 853} Joab,³⁰⁹⁷ and his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ with⁵⁹⁷³ him, and all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ and they destroyed^{7843 853} the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ and besieged^{6696 5921} Rabbah.⁷²³⁷ But David¹⁷³² tarried³⁴²⁷ still at Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

2  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ in an eveningtide,^{6256 6153} that David¹⁷³² arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ from off^{4480 5921} his bed,⁴⁹⁰⁴ and walked¹⁹⁸⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ the roof¹⁴⁰⁶ of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house:¹⁰⁰⁴ and from^{4480 5921} the roof¹⁴⁰⁶ he saw⁷²⁰⁰ a woman⁸⁰² washing⁷³⁶⁴ herself; and the woman⁸⁰² was very³⁹⁶⁶ beautiful²⁸⁹⁶ to look⁴⁷⁵⁸ upon.

3  And David¹⁷³² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ and inquired¹⁸⁷⁵ after the woman.⁸⁰² And one said,⁵⁵⁹ Is not³⁸⁰⁸ this²⁰⁶³ Bath-sheba,¹³³⁹ the daughter¹³²³ of Eliam,⁴⁶³ the wife⁸⁰² of Uriah²²³ the Hittite?²⁸⁵⁰

4  And David¹⁷³² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers,⁴³⁹⁷ and took³⁹⁴⁷ her; and she came⁹³⁵ in unto⁴¹³ him, and he lay⁷⁹⁰¹ with her;⁵⁹⁷³ for she¹⁹³¹ was purified⁶⁹⁴² from her uncleanness:^{4480 2932} and she returned⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ her house.¹⁰⁰⁴

5  And the woman⁸⁰² conceived,²⁰²⁹ and sent⁷⁹⁷¹ and told⁵⁰⁴⁶ David,¹⁷³² and said,⁵⁵⁹ I⁵⁹⁵ am with child.²⁰³⁰

6  And David¹⁷³² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁴¹³ Joab,³⁰⁹⁷ saying, Send^{7971 413} me ⁸⁵³ Uriah²²³ the Hittite.²⁸⁵⁰ And Joab³⁰⁹⁷ sent^{7971 853} Uriah²²³ to⁴¹³ David.¹⁷³²

7  And when Uriah²²³ was come⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ him, David¹⁷³² demanded⁷⁵⁹² of him how Joab³⁰⁹⁷ did,⁷⁹⁶⁵ and how the people⁵⁹⁷¹ did,⁷⁹⁶⁵ and how the war⁴⁴²¹ prospered.⁷⁹⁶⁵

8  And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ to Uriah,²²³ Go down³³⁸¹ to thy house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and wash⁷³⁶⁴ thy feet.⁷²⁷² And Uriah²²³ departed³³¹⁸ out of the king's house,^{4480 1004 4428} and there followed^{3318 310} him a mess⁴⁸⁶⁴ of meat from the king.⁴⁴²⁸

9  But Uriah²²³ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ at the door⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house¹⁰⁰⁴ with⁸⁵⁴ all³⁶⁰⁵ the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of his lord,¹¹³ and went³³⁸¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ down to⁴¹³ his house.¹⁰⁰⁴

10  And when they had told⁵⁰⁴⁶ David,¹⁷³² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Uriah²²³ went not down^{3381 3808} unto⁴¹³ his house,¹⁰⁰⁴ David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Uriah,²²³ Camest⁹³⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ not³⁸⁰⁸ from thy journey?^{4480 1870} why⁴⁰⁶⁹ then didst thou not³⁸⁰⁸ go down³³⁸¹ unto⁴¹³ thine house?¹⁰⁰⁴

11  And Uriah²²³ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ David,¹⁷³² The ark,⁷²⁷ and Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and Judah,³⁰⁶³ abide³⁴²⁷ in tents;⁵⁵²¹ and my lord¹¹³ Joab,³⁰⁹⁷ and the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of my lord,¹¹³ are encamped²⁵⁸³ in⁵⁹²¹ the open⁶⁴⁴⁰ fields;⁷⁷⁰⁴ shall I⁵⁸⁹ then go⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ mine house,¹⁰⁰⁴ to eat³⁹⁸ and to drink,⁸³⁵⁴ and to lie⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ my wife?⁸⁰² as thou livest,²⁴¹⁶ and as thy soul⁵³¹⁵ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ I will not do^{6213 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ thing.¹⁶⁹⁷

12  And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ Uriah,²²³ Tarry³⁴²⁷ here²⁰⁸⁸ today³¹¹⁷ also,¹⁵⁷¹ and tomorrow⁴²⁷⁹ I will let thee depart.⁷⁹⁷¹ So Uriah²²³ abode³⁴²⁷ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ that¹⁹³¹ day,³¹¹⁷ and the morrow.^{4480 4283}

13  And when David¹⁷³² had called⁷¹²¹ him, he did eat³⁹⁸ and drink⁸³⁵⁴ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him; and he made him drunk:⁷⁹³⁷ and at even⁶¹⁵³ he went out³³¹⁸ to lie⁷⁹⁰¹ on his bed⁴⁹⁰⁴ with⁵⁹⁷³ the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of his lord,¹¹³ but went³³⁸¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ down to⁴¹³ his house.¹⁰⁰⁴

14  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ in the morning,¹²⁴² that David¹⁷³² wrote³⁷⁸⁹ a letter⁵⁶¹² to⁴¹³ Joab,³⁰⁹⁷ and sent⁷⁹⁷¹ it by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Uriah.²²³

15  And he wrote³⁷⁸⁹ in the letter,⁵⁶¹² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Set³⁰⁵¹ ye ⁸⁵³ Uriah²²³ in⁴¹³ the forefront^{4136 6440} of the hottest²³⁸⁹ battle,⁴⁴²¹ and retire⁷⁷²⁵ ye from^{4480 310} him, that he may be smitten,⁵²²¹ and die.⁴¹⁹¹

16  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when Joab³⁰⁹⁷ observed^{8104 413} the city,⁵⁸⁹² that he assigned^{5414 853} Uriah²²³ unto⁴¹³ a place⁴⁷²⁵ where^{834 8033} he knew³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ valiant²⁴²⁸ men³⁷⁶ were.

17  And the men³⁷⁶ of the city⁵⁸⁹² went out,³³¹⁸ and fought³⁸⁹⁸ with⁸⁵⁴ Joab:³⁰⁹⁷ and there fell⁵³⁰⁷ some of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the servants^{4480 5650} of David;¹⁷³² and Uriah²²³ the Hittite²⁸⁵⁰ died⁴¹⁹¹ also.¹⁵⁷¹

18  Then Joab³⁰⁹⁷ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ and told⁵⁰⁴⁶ David^{1732 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the things¹⁶⁹⁷ concerning the war;⁴⁴²¹

19  And charged^{6680 853} the messenger,⁴³⁹⁷ saying,⁵⁵⁹ When thou hast made an end³⁶¹⁵ of telling¹⁶⁹⁶ the matters¹⁶⁹⁷ of the war⁴⁴²¹ unto⁴¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸

20  And if⁵¹⁸ so be¹⁹⁶¹ that the king's⁴⁴²⁸ wrath²⁵³⁴ arise,⁵⁹²⁷ and he say⁵⁵⁹ unto thee, Wherefore⁴⁰⁶⁹ approached⁵⁰⁶⁶ ye so nigh unto⁴¹³ the city⁵⁸⁹² when ye did fight?³⁸⁹⁸ knew³⁰⁴⁵ ye not³⁸⁰⁸ that⁸³⁴ they would shoot³³⁸⁴ from^{4480 5921} the wall?²³⁴⁶

21  Who⁴³¹⁰ smote^{5221 853} Abimelech⁴⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of Jerubbesheth?³³⁸⁰ did not³⁸⁰⁸ a woman⁸⁰² cast⁷⁹⁹³ a piece⁶⁴⁰⁰ of a millstone⁷³⁹³ upon⁵⁹²¹ him from^{4480 5921} the wall,²³⁴⁶ that he died⁴¹⁹¹ in Thebez?⁸⁴⁰⁵ why⁴¹⁰⁰ went ye nigh^{5066 413} the wall?²³⁴⁶ then say⁵⁵⁹ thou, Thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ Uriah²²³ the Hittite²⁸⁵⁰ is dead⁴¹⁹¹ also.¹⁵⁷¹

22  So the messenger⁴³⁹⁷ went,¹⁹⁸⁰ and came⁹³⁵ and showed⁵⁰⁴⁶ David^{1732 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ Joab³⁰⁹⁷ had sent⁷⁹⁷¹ him for.

23  And the messenger⁴³⁹⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ David,¹⁷³² Surely³⁵⁸⁸ the men³⁷⁶ prevailed¹³⁹⁶ against⁵⁹²¹ us, and came out³³¹⁸ unto⁴¹³ us into the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ and we were¹⁹⁶¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ them even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the entering⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the gate.⁸¹⁷⁹

24  And the shooters³³⁸⁴ shot³³⁸⁴ from off^{4480 5921} the wall²³⁴⁶ upon⁴¹³ thy servants;⁵⁶⁵⁰ and some of the king's servants^{4480 5650 4428} be dead,⁴¹⁹¹ and thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ Uriah²²³ the Hittite²⁸⁵⁰ is dead⁴¹⁹¹ also.¹⁵⁷¹

25  Then David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the messenger,⁴³⁹⁷ Thus³⁵⁴¹ shalt thou say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Joab,³⁰⁹⁷ Let not^{408 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ thing¹⁶⁹⁷ displease^{3415 5869} thee, for³⁵⁸⁸ the sword²⁷¹⁹ devoureth³⁹⁸ one²⁰⁸⁸ as well as another:²⁰⁹⁰ make thy battle⁴⁴²¹ more strong²³⁸⁸ against⁴¹³ the city,⁵⁸⁹² and overthrow²⁰⁴⁰ it: and encourage²³⁸⁸ thou him.

26  And when the wife⁸⁰² of Uriah²²³ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ Uriah²²³ her husband³⁷⁶ was dead,⁴¹⁹¹ she mourned⁵⁵⁹⁴ for⁵⁹²¹ her husband.¹¹⁶⁷

27  And when the mourning⁶⁰ was past,⁵⁶⁷⁴ David¹⁷³² sent⁷⁹⁷¹ and fetched⁶²² her to⁴¹³ his house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and she became¹⁹⁶¹ his wife,⁸⁰² and bore³²⁰⁵ him a son.¹¹²¹ But the thing¹⁶⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ David¹⁷³² had done⁶²¹³ displeased^{3415 5869} the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

1 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπιστρέψαντος τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τῆς ἐξοδίας τῶν βασιλέων καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Δαυιδ τὸν Ιωαβ καὶ τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν πάντα Ισραηλ καὶ διέφθειραν τοὺς υἱοὺς Αμμων καὶ διεκάθισαν ἐπὶ Ραββαθ καὶ Δαυιδ ἐκάθισεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ

2 καὶ ἐγένετο πρὸς ἑσπέραν καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυιδ ἀπὸ τῆς κοίτης αὐτοῦ καὶ περιεπάτει ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ εἶδεν γυναῖκα λουομένην ἀπὸ τοῦ δώματος καὶ ἡ γυνὴ καλὴ τῷ εἴδει σφόδρα

3 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Δαυιδ καὶ ἐζήτησεν τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ εἶπεν οὐχὶ αὕτη Βηρσαβεε θυγάτηρ Ελιαβ γυνὴ Ουριου τοῦ Χετταίου

4 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Δαυιδ ἀγγέλους καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτήν καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτόν καὶ ἐκοιμήθη μετ᾽ αὐτῆς καὶ αὐτὴ ἁγιαζομένη ἀπὸ ἀκαθαρσίας αὐτῆς καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτῆς

5 καὶ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔλαβεν ἡ γυνή καὶ ἀποστείλασα ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ Δαυιδ καὶ εἶπεν ἐγώ εἰμι ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχω

6 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Δαυιδ πρὸς Ιωαβ λέγων ἀπόστειλον πρός με τὸν Ουριαν τὸν Χετταῖον καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ιωαβ τὸν Ουριαν πρὸς Δαυιδ

7 καὶ παραγίνεται Ουριας καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτόν καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν Δαυιδ εἰς εἰρήνην Ιωαβ καὶ εἰς εἰρήνην τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ εἰς εἰρήνην τοῦ πολέμου

8 καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ τῷ Ουρια κατάβηθι εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου καὶ νίψαι τοὺς πόδας σου καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ουριας ἐξ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ἄρσις τοῦ βασιλέως

9 καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ουριας παρὰ τῇ θύρᾳ τοῦ βασιλέως μετὰ τῶν δούλων τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ κατέβη εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ

10 καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν τῷ Δαυιδ λέγοντες ὅτι οὐ κατέβη Ουριας εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ πρὸς Ουριαν οὐχὶ ἐξ ὁδοῦ σὺ ἔρχῃ τί ὅτι οὐ κατέβης εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου

11 καὶ εἶπεν Ουριας πρὸς Δαυιδ ἡ κιβωτὸς καὶ Ισραηλ καὶ Ιουδας κατοικοῦσιν ἐν σκηναῖς καὶ ὁ κύριός μου Ιωαβ καὶ οἱ δοῦλοι τοῦ κυρίου μου ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ ἀγροῦ παρεμβάλλουσιν καὶ ἐγὼ εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς τὸν οἶκόν μου φαγεῖν καὶ πιεῖν καὶ κοιμηθῆναι μετὰ τῆς γυναικός μου πῶς ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου εἰ ποιήσω τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο

12 καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ πρὸς Ουριαν κάθισον ἐνταῦθα καί γε σήμερον καὶ αὔριον ἐξαποστελῶ σε καὶ ἐκάθισεν Ουριας ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ τῇ ἐπαύριον

13 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸν Δαυιδ καὶ ἔφαγεν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔπιεν καὶ ἐμέθυσεν αὐτόν καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἑσπέρας τοῦ κοιμηθῆναι ἐπὶ τῆς κοίτης αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν δούλων τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ οὐ κατέβη

14 καὶ ἐγένετο πρωὶ καὶ ἔγραψεν Δαυιδ βιβλίον πρὸς Ιωαβ καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἐν χειρὶ Ουριου

15 καὶ ἔγραψεν ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ λέγων εἰσάγαγε τὸν Ουριαν ἐξ ἐναντίας τοῦ πολέμου τοῦ κραταιοῦ καὶ ἀποστραφήσεσθε ἀπὸ ὄπισθεν αὐτοῦ καὶ πληγήσεται καὶ ἀποθανεῖται

16 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ φυλάσσειν Ιωαβ ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν καὶ ἔθηκεν τὸν Ουριαν εἰς τὸν τόπον οὗ ᾔδει ὅτι ἄνδρες δυνάμεως ἐκεῖ

17 καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἐπολέμουν μετὰ Ιωαβ καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ ἐκ τῶν δούλων Δαυιδ καὶ ἀπέθανεν καί γε Ουριας ὁ Χετταῖος

18 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ιωαβ καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ βασιλεῖ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τοῦ πολέμου

19 καὶ ἐνετείλατο τῷ ἀγγέλῳ λέγων ἐν τῷ συντελέσαι σε πάντας τοὺς λόγους τοῦ πολέμου λαλῆσαι πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα

20 καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν ἀναβῇ ὁ θυμὸς τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ εἴπῃ σοι τί ὅτι ἠγγίσατε πρὸς τὴν πόλιν πολεμῆσαι οὐκ ᾔδειτε ὅτι τοξεύσουσιν ἀπάνωθεν τοῦ τείχους

21 τίς ἐπάταξεν τὸν Αβιμελεχ υἱὸν Ιεροβααλ οὐχὶ γυνὴ ἔρριψεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν κλάσμα μύλου ἐπάνωθεν τοῦ τείχους καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐν Θαμασι ἵνα τί προσηγάγετε πρὸς τὸ τεῖχος καὶ ἐρεῖς καί γε Ουριας ὁ δοῦλός σου ὁ Χετταῖος ἀπέθανεν

22 καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὁ ἄγγελος Ιωαβ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα εἰς Ιερουσαλημ καὶ παρεγένετο καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ Δαυιδ πάντα ὅσα ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ Ιωαβ πάντα τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ πολέμου καὶ ἐθυμώθη Δαυιδ πρὸς Ιωαβ καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον ἵνα τί προσηγάγετε πρὸς τὴν πόλιν τοῦ πολεμῆσαι οὐκ ᾔδειτε ὅτι πληγήσεσθε ἀπὸ τοῦ τείχους τίς ἐπάταξεν τὸν Αβιμελεχ υἱὸν Ιεροβααλ οὐχὶ γυνὴ ἔρριψεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν κλάσμα μύλου ἀπὸ τοῦ τείχους καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐν Θαμασι ἵνα τί προσηγάγετε πρὸς τὸ τεῖχος

23 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄγγελος πρὸς Δαυιδ ὅτι ἐκραταίωσαν ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς οἱ ἄνδρες καὶ ἐξῆλθαν ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς εἰς τὸν ἀγρόν καὶ ἐγενήθημεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς ἕως τῆς θύρας τῆς πύλης

24 καὶ ἐτόξευσαν οἱ τοξεύοντες πρὸς τοὺς παῖδάς σου ἀπάνωθεν τοῦ τείχους καὶ ἀπέθαναν τῶν παίδων τοῦ βασιλέως καί γε ὁ δοῦλός σου Ουριας ὁ Χετταῖος ἀπέθανεν

25 καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον τάδε ἐρεῖς πρὸς Ιωαβ μὴ πονηρὸν ἔστω ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο ὅτι ποτὲ μὲν οὕτως καὶ ποτὲ οὕτως φάγεται ἡ μάχαιρα κραταίωσον τὸν πόλεμόν σου πρὸς τὴν πόλιν καὶ κατάσπασον αὐτὴν καὶ κραταίωσον αὐτόν

26 καὶ ἤκουσεν ἡ γυνὴ Ουριου ὅτι ἀπέθανεν Ουριας ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς καὶ ἐκόψατο τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς

27 καὶ διῆλθεν τὸ πένθος καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Δαυιδ καὶ συνήγαγεν αὐτὴν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα καὶ ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ υἱόν καὶ πονηρὸν ἐφάνη τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ἐποίησεν Δαυιδ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου

1 Factum est autem, vertente anno, eo tempore quo solent reges ad bella procedere, misit David Joab, et servos suos cum eo, et universum Israël, et vastaverunt filios Ammon, et obsederunt Rabba: David autem remansit in Jerusalem.

2 Dum hæc agerentur, accidit ut surgeret David de strato suo post meridiem, et deambularet in solario domus regiæ: viditque mulierem se lavantem ex adverso super solarium suum: erat autem mulier pulchra valde.

3 Misit ergo rex, et requisivit quæ esset mulier. Nuntiatumque est ei quod ipsa esset Bethsabee filia Eliam, uxor Uriæ Hethæi.

4 Missis itaque David nuntiis, tulit eam: quæ cum ingressa esset ad illum, dormivit cum ea: statimque sanctificata est ab immunditia sua,

5 et reversa est domum suam concepto fœtu. Mittensque nuntiavit David, et ait: Concepi.

6 Misit autem David ad Joab, dicens: Mitte ad me Uriam Hethæum. Misitque Joab Uriam ad David.

7 Et venit Urias ad David. Quæsivitque David quam recte ageret Joab et populus, et quomodo administraretur bellum.

8 Et dixit David ad Uriam: Vade in domum tuam, et lava pedes tuos. Et egressus est Urias de domo regis, secutusque est eum cibus regius.

9 Dormivit autem Urias ante portam domus regiæ cum aliis servis domini sui, et non descendit ad domum suam.

10 Nuntiatumque est David a dicentibus: Non ivit Urias in domum suam. Et ait David ad Uriam: Numquid non de via venisti? quare non descendisti in domum tuam?

11 Et ait Urias ad David: Arca Dei et Israël et Juda habitant in papilionibus, et dominus meus Joab et servi domini mei super faciem terræ manent: et ego ingrediar domum meam, ut comedam et bibam, et dormiam cum uxore mea? Per salutem tuam, et per salutem animæ tuæ, non faciam rem hanc.

12 Ait ergo David ad Uriam: Mane hic etiam hodie, et cras dimittam te. Mansit Urias in Jerusalem in die illa et altera:

13 et vocavit eum David ut comederet coram se et biberet, et inebriavit eum: qui egressus vespere, dormivit in strato suo cum servis domini sui, et in domum suam non descendit.

14 Factum est ergo mane, et scripsit David epistolam ad Joab: misitque per manum Uriæ,

15 scribens in epistola: Ponite Uriam ex adverso belli, ubi fortissimum est prælium: et derelinquite eum, ut percussus intereat.

16 Igitur cum Joab obsideret urbem, posuit Uriam in loco ubi sciebat viros esse fortissimos.

17 Egressique viri de civitate, bellabant adversum Joab, et ceciderunt de populo servorum David, et mortuus est etiam Urias Hethæus.

18 Misit itaque Joab, et nuntiavit David omnia verba prælii:

19 præcepitque nuntio, dicens: Cum compleveris universos sermones belli ad regem,

20 si eum videris indignari, et dixerit: Quare accessistis ad murum, ut præliaremini? an ignorabatis quod multa desuper ex muro tela mittantur?

21 Quis percussit Abimelech filium Jerobaal? nonne mulier misit super eum fragmen molæ de muro, et interfecit eum in Thebes? quare juxta murum accessistis? dices: Etiam servus tuus Urias Hethæus occubuit.

22 Abiit ergo nuntius, et venit, et narravit David omnia quæ ei præceperat Joab.

23 Et dixit nuntius ad David: Prævaluerunt adversum nos viri, et egressi sunt ad nos in agrum: nos autem facto impetu persecuti eos sumus usque ad portam civitatis.

24 Et direxerunt jacula sagittarii ad servos tuos ex muro desuper, mortuique sunt de servis regis: quin etiam servus tuus Urias Hethæus mortuus est.

25 Et dixit David ad nuntium: Hæc dices Joab: Non te frangat ista res: varius enim eventus est belli, nunc hunc, et nunc illum consumit gladius: conforta bellatores tuos adversus urbem ut destruas eam, et exhortare eos.

26 Audivit autem uxor Uriæ quod mortuus esset Urias vir suus, et planxit eum.

27 Transacto autem luctu, misit David, et introduxit eam in domum suam, et facta est ei uxor, peperitque ei filium: et displicuit verbum hoc quod fecerat David, coram Domino.
