2 Samuel 11:2-5, 27

2 Samuel 11:2-5 NCV

One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of his palace. While he was on the roof, he saw a woman bathing. She was very beautiful. So David sent his servants to find out who she was. A servant answered, “That woman is Bathsheba daughter of Eliam. She is the wife of Uriah the Hittite.” So David sent messengers to bring Bathsheba to him. When she came to him, he had sexual relations with her. (Now Bathsheba had purified herself from her monthly period.) Then she went back to her house. But Bathsheba became pregnant and sent word to David, saying, “I am pregnant.”

2 Samuel 11:27 NCV

After she finished her time of sadness, David sent servants to bring her to his house. She became David’s wife and gave birth to his son, but the LORD did not like what David had done.
