² Now at evening time David got up from his bed and walked around on ^(A)the roof of the king’s house, and from the roof he saw a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful in appearance. ³ So David sent servants and inquired about the woman. And someone said, “Is this not ^(B)Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of ^(C)Uriah the Hittite?” ⁴ Then David sent messengers and ^[a]had her brought, and when she came to him, ^(D)he slept with her; ^(E)and when she had purified herself from her uncleanness, she returned to her house. ⁵ But the woman conceived; so she sent word and informed David, and said, “^(F)I am pregnant.”

²⁷ When the time of mourning was over, David sent servants and ^[a]had her brought to his house and ^(A)she became his wife; then she bore him a son. But ^(B)the thing that David had done was evil in the sight of the Lord.
