2 Samuel 11:1-3
EasyEnglish Bible
David and Bathsheba
11 In the spring, David sent out his army to attack the Ammonites. That was the time of year when kings go out to fight battles.[a] Joab led the whole Israelite army, together with his officers. They attacked the Ammonites, and they won the fight against them. Israel's army made their camp all around Rabbah city. But David had stayed in Jerusalem.
2 One evening, David got up from his bed. He walked around on the roof of his palace.[b] From the roof he saw a woman who was washing herself. She was very beautiful. 3 David sent a servant to ask who she was. The servant told him, ‘She is Eliam's daughter, Bathsheba. She is the wife of Uriah the Hittite.’
