2 Samuel 11:25-27

New International Reader's Version

²⁵ David told the messenger, “Tell Joab, ‘Don’t get upset over what happened. Swords kill one person as well as another. So keep on attacking the city. Destroy it.’ Tell that to Joab. It will cheer him up.”

²⁶ Uriah’s wife heard that her husband was dead. She mourned over him. ²⁷ When her time of sadness was over, David had her brought to his house. She became his wife. And she had a son by him. But the Lord wasn’t pleased with what David had done.
