2 Samuel 11:4-6

The Voice

^4-5 David couldn’t get her off his mind, so he sent messengers to bring Bathsheba to him. She came, and they had sexual relations. Soon after she returned home, Bathsheba realized she was pregnant, and she sent this news to David. Since their encounter occurred just after the purifying bath after her period, her husband Uriah could not have been the father. ⁶ So David sent a message to his general Joab.

Joab sent Uriah back to David.
