2 Samuel 11:25-27

New American Standard Bible 1995

²⁵ Then David said to the messenger, “Thus you shall say to Joab, ‘Do not let this thing ^[a]displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another; make your battle against the city stronger and overthrow it’; and so encourage him.”

²⁶ Now when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, ^(A)she mourned for her husband. ²⁷ When the time of mourning was over, David sent and ^[b]brought her to his house and ^(B)she became his wife; then she bore him a son. But ^(C)the thing that David had done was evil in the sight of the Lord.
