⁴ Then David sent messengers to get her.^(A) She came to him, and he slept^(B) with her. (Now she was purifying herself from her monthly uncleanness.)^(C) Then she went back home.

⁵ The woman conceived and sent word to David, saying, “I am pregnant.”

²⁷ After the time of mourning^(A) was over, David had her brought to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing David had done displeased^(B) the Lord.

⁹ Why did you despise^(A) the word of the Lord by doing what is evil in his eyes? You struck down^(B) Uriah^(C) the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own. You killed^(D) him with the sword of the Ammonites.

¹⁰ Now, therefore, the sword^(A) will never depart from your house, because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.’
