A Novel of King David
David in 2 Samuel 11
(2 Samuel 11:1) And it happened at the turn of the year, at the time kings go
forth, David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel. And they
destroyed the sons of Ammon and circled Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.
(2 Samuel 11:2) And it happened one evening, David arose from his bed and walked
on the roof of the king's house. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing. And
the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
(2 Samuel 11:3) And David sent and asked about the woman. And one said, Is not
this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?
(2 Samuel 11:4) And David sent messengers and took her. And she came in to him,
and he lay with her. And she had purified herself from her uncleanness. And she
returned to her house.
(2 Samuel 11:5) And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am
with child.
(2 Samuel 11:6) And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And
Joab sent Uriah to David.
(2 Samuel 11:7) And when Uriah had come to him, David asked how Joab did, and
how the people did, and how the war went.
(2 Samuel 11:8) And David said to Uriah, Go down to your house and wash your
feet. And Uriah left the king's house. And a gift from the king went out after
him.
(2 Samuel 11:9) But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the
servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house.
(2 Samuel 11:10) And they told David, saying, Uriah did not go to his house. And
David said to Uriah, Did you not come from a journey? Why have you not gone down
to your house?
(2 Samuel 11:11) And Uriah said to David, The ark and Israel and Judah abide in
tents. And my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are camped in the open
fields. Shall I then go to 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.
(2 Samuel 11:12) And David said to Uriah, Stay here today also, and tomorrow I
will let you go. And Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and the next day.
(2 Samuel 11:13) And when David had called him, he ate and drank before him. And
he made him drunk. And at evening he went out to lie on his bed with the
servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.
(2 Samuel 11:14) And it happened in the morning, David wrote a letter to Joab
and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
(2 Samuel 11:15) And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set Uriah in the forefront
of the hottest battle, and draw back from him so that he may be stricken and
die.
(2 Samuel 11:16) And it happened when Joab observed the city, he sent Uriah to a
place where he knew brave men were.
(2 Samuel 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 the Hittite also died.
(2 Samuel 11:18) Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the
war.
(2 Samuel 11:19) And he commanded the messenger saying, When you have made an
end of telling the matters of the war to the king,
(2 Samuel 11:20) and if it be so that the king's wrath arise, and he say to you,
Why did you approach so near to the city when you fought? Did you not know that
they would shoot from the wall?
(2 Samuel 11:21) Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerub-besheth? Did not a woman
cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, so that he died in Thebez?
Why did you go near the wall? And you shall say, Your servant Uriah the Hittite
is dead also.
(2 Samuel 11:22) And the messenger departed, and came and told David all that
Joab had sent him to tell.
(2 Samuel 11:23) And the messenger said to David, Surely the men prevailed
against us, and came out to us to the field, and we were upon them even to the
entering of the gate.
(2 Samuel 11:24) And the shooters shot from off the wall upon your servants, and
some of the king's servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead
also.
(2 Samuel 11:25) Then David said to the messenger, So you shall say to Joab, Do
not let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another.
Make your battle stronger against the city and overthrow it. And you encourage
him.
(2 Samuel 11:26) And the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead,
and mourned for her husband.
(2 Samuel 11:27) And when her mourning was past, David sent and brought her to
his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David
had done was evil in the eyes of Jehovah.
