David y Betsabé

11 Aconteció que en la primavera[a], en el tiempo cuando los reyes salen a la batalla, David envió a Joab y con él a sus siervos y a todo Israel, y destruyeron a los hijos de Amón(A) y sitiaron a Rabá(B). Pero David permaneció en Jerusalén(C).

2 Y al atardecer David se levantó de su lecho y se paseaba por el terrado de la casa del rey, y desde el terrado(D) vio a una mujer que se estaba bañando; y la mujer era de aspecto muy hermoso. 3 David mandó a preguntar acerca de aquella mujer. Y alguien dijo: ¿No es esta Betsabé, hija de Eliam(E), mujer de Urías hitita(F)? 4 David envió mensajeros y la tomó; y cuando ella vino a él, él durmió con ella(G). Después que ella se purificó de su inmundicia(H), regresó a su casa. 5 Y la mujer concibió; y envió aviso a David, diciendo: Estoy encinta(I).

6 Entonces David envió a decir a Joab: Envíame a Urías hitita. Y Joab envió a Urías a David. 7 Cuando Urías vino a él, David le preguntó por[b] Joab(J), por[c] el pueblo y por el estado de la guerra. 8 Después dijo David a Urías: Desciende a tu casa, y lava tus pies(K). Salió Urías de la casa del rey, y tras él fue enviado[d] un obsequio del rey. 9 Pero Urías durmió a la entrada de la casa del rey con todos los siervos de su señor, y no bajó a su casa(L). 10 Cuando se lo contaron a David, diciendo: Urías no bajó a su casa, David dijo a Urías: ¿No has venido de hacer un viaje? ¿Por qué no bajaste a tu casa? 11 Y Urías respondió a David: El arca, Israel y Judá están bajo tiendas[e](M), y mi señor Joab y los siervos de mi señor acampan a campo abierto(N). ¿He de ir yo a mi casa para comer, beber y acostarme con mi mujer? Por tu vida y la vida de tu alma, que no haré tal cosa. 12 Entonces David dijo a Urías: Quédate aquí hoy también, y mañana te dejaré ir(O). Y se quedó Urías en Jerusalén aquel día y el siguiente[f]. 13 Y David lo convidó a comer y a beber con él[g], y lo embriagó(P). Al anochecer Urías salió a acostarse en su cama con los siervos de su señor, pero no descendió a su casa(Q).

14 Y aconteció a la mañana siguiente que David escribió una carta(R) a Joab, y la envió por mano de Urías. 15 En la carta había escrito[h]: Poned[i] a Urías al frente de la batalla más reñida[j] y retiraos de él, para que sea herido y muera(S). 16 Así[k] que cuando Joab asediaba la ciudad, puso a Urías en el lugar donde sabía que había hombres valientes. 17 Y los hombres de la ciudad salieron y pelearon contra Joab, y algunos de los siervos de David cayeron, y murió también Urías hitita(T). 18 Joab envió a informar a David de todos los sucesos de la guerra, 19 y dio orden al mensajero, diciendo: Cuando hayas acabado de contar al rey todos los sucesos de la guerra, 20 si sucede que el furor del rey se enciende[l] y te dice: «¿Por qué os acercasteis tanto a la ciudad para pelear? ¿No sabíais que dispararían desde el muro? 21 ¿Quién mató a Abimelec, hijo de Jerobaal? ¿No arrojó una mujer sobre él una muela de molino desde lo alto del muro de manera que murió en Tebes(U)? ¿Por qué os acercasteis tanto al muro?». Entonces le dirás: «También tu siervo Urías hitita ha muerto».

22 Partió, pues, el mensajero, y llegó e informó a David todo lo que Joab le había enviado a decir. 23 Y el mensajero dijo a David: Los hombres prevalecieron contra nosotros y salieron al campo contra nosotros, pero los rechazamos[m] hasta la entrada de la puerta. 24 Pero los arqueros tiraron contra tus siervos desde la muralla; y algunos de los siervos del rey han muerto, y también tu siervo Urías hitita ha muerto. 25 Entonces David dijo al mensajero: Así dirás a Joab: «No tengas pesar por esto[n], porque la espada devora tanto a uno como al otro; haz más fuerte tu combate contra la ciudad y destrúyela»; y tú aliéntalo.

26 Al oír la mujer de Urías que su marido Urías había muerto, hizo duelo por su marido(V). 27 Cuando pasó el luto, David mandó traerla[o] a su casa, y ella fue su mujer; y le dio a luz un hijo. Pero lo que David había hecho fue malo a los ojos del Señor(W).

New King James Version

David, Bathsheba, and Uriah

11 It happened in the spring of the year, at the (A)time when kings go out to battle, that (B)David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the people of Ammon and besieged (C)Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.

2 Then it happened one evening that David arose from his bed (D)and walked on the roof of the king’s house. And from the roof he (E)saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to behold. 3 So David sent and inquired about the woman. And someone said, “Is this not [a]Bathsheba, the daughter of [b]Eliam, the wife (F)of Uriah the (G)Hittite?” 4 Then David sent messengers, and took her; and she came to him, and (H)he lay with her, for she was (I)cleansed from her impurity; and she returned to her house. 5 And the woman conceived; so she sent and told David, and said, “I am with child.”

6 Then David sent to Joab, saying, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” And Joab sent Uriah to David. 7 When Uriah had come to him, David asked how Joab was doing, and how the people were doing, and how the war prospered. 8 And David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and (J)wash your feet.” So Uriah departed from the king’s house, and a gift of food from the king followed him. 9 But Uriah slept at the (K)door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house. 10 So when they told David, saying, “Uriah did not go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “Did you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?”

11 And Uriah said to David, (L)“The ark and Israel and Judah are dwelling in tents, and (M)my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are encamped in the open fields. Shall I then go to my house to eat and drink, and to lie with my wife? As you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing.”

12 Then David said to Uriah, “Wait here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next. 13 Now when David called him, he ate and drank before him; and he made him (N)drunk. And at evening he went out to lie on his bed (O)with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.

14 In the morning it happened that David (P)wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, “Set Uriah in the forefront of the [c]hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may (Q)be struck down and die.” 16 So it was, while Joab besieged the city, that he assigned Uriah to a place where he knew there were valiant men. 17 Then the men of the city came out and fought with Joab. And some of the people of the servants of David fell; and Uriah the Hittite died also.

18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war, 19 and charged the messenger, saying, “When you have finished telling the matters of the war to the king, 20 if it happens that the king’s wrath rises, and he says to you: ‘Why did you approach so near to the city when you fought? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall? 21 Who struck (R)Abimelech the son of [d]Jerubbesheth? Was it not a woman who cast a piece of a millstone on him from the wall, so that he died in Thebez? Why did you go near the wall?’—then you shall say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.’ ”

22 So the messenger went, and came and told David all that Joab had sent by him. 23 And the messenger said to David, “Surely the men prevailed against us and came out to us in the field; then we drove them back as far as the entrance of the gate. 24 The archers shot from the wall at your servants; and some of the king’s servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.”

25 Then David said to the messenger, “Thus you shall say to Joab: ‘Do not let this thing [e]displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Strengthen your attack against the city, and overthrow it.’ So encourage him.”

26 When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband. 27 And when her mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and she (S)became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done (T)displeased[f] the Lord.

David and Bathsheba

11 In the spring,(A) at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab(B) out with the king’s men and the whole Israelite army.(C) They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah.(D) But David remained in Jerusalem.

2 One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof(E) of the palace. From the roof he saw(F) a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, 3 and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, “She is Bathsheba,(G) the daughter of Eliam(H) and the wife of Uriah(I) the Hittite.” 4 Then David sent messengers to get her.(J) She came to him, and he slept(K) with her. (Now she was purifying herself from her monthly uncleanness.)(L) Then she went back home. 5 The woman conceived and sent word to David, saying, “I am pregnant.”

6 So David sent this word to Joab: “Send me Uriah(M) the Hittite.” And Joab sent him to David. 7 When Uriah came to him, David asked him how Joab was, how the soldiers were and how the war was going. 8 Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.”(N) So Uriah left the palace, and a gift from the king was sent after him. 9 But Uriah slept at the entrance to the palace with all his master’s servants and did not go down to his house.

10 David was told, “Uriah did not go home.” So he asked Uriah, “Haven’t you just come from a military campaign? Why didn’t you go home?”

11 Uriah said to David, “The ark(O) and Israel and Judah are staying in tents,[a] and my commander Joab and my lord’s men are camped in the open country. How could I go to my house to eat and drink and make love(P) to my wife? As surely as you live, I will not do such a thing!”

12 Then David said to him, “Stay here one more day, and tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next. 13 At David’s invitation, he ate and drank with him, and David made him drunk. But in the evening Uriah went out to sleep on his mat among his master’s servants; he did not go home.

14 In the morning David wrote a letter(Q) to Joab and sent it with Uriah. 15 In it he wrote, “Put Uriah out in front where the fighting is fiercest. Then withdraw from him so he will be struck down(R) and die.(S)”

16 So while Joab had the city under siege, he put Uriah at a place where he knew the strongest defenders were. 17 When the men of the city came out and fought against Joab, some of the men in David’s army fell; moreover, Uriah the Hittite died.

18 Joab sent David a full account of the battle. 19 He instructed the messenger: “When you have finished giving the king this account of the battle, 20 the king’s anger may flare up, and he may ask you, ‘Why did you get so close to the city to fight? Didn’t you know they would shoot arrows from the wall? 21 Who killed Abimelek(T) son of Jerub-Besheth[b]? Didn’t a woman drop an upper millstone on him from the wall,(U) so that he died in Thebez? Why did you get so close to the wall?’ If he asks you this, then say to him, ‘Moreover, your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead.’”

22 The messenger set out, and when he arrived he told David everything Joab had sent him to say. 23 The messenger said to David, “The men overpowered us and came out against us in the open, but we drove them back to the entrance of the city gate. 24 Then the archers shot arrows at your servants from the wall, and some of the king’s men died. Moreover, your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead.”

25 David told the messenger, “Say this to Joab: ‘Don’t let this upset you; the sword devours one as well as another. Press the attack against the city and destroy it.’ Say this to encourage Joab.”

26 When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him. 27 After the time of mourning(V) was over, David had her brought to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing David had done displeased(W) the Lord.

Davids synd och dess konsekvenser

(11:1—20:26)

Davids synd med Batseba

11 Vid årsskiftet, den tid då kungarna brukade dra ut i fält, sände David ut Joav, sina egna män och hela Israels armé och de förgjorde ammoniterna och belägrade Rabba. David stannade i Jerusalem.

2 En kväll när han hade stigit upp från sin bädd, gick han ut på palatsets tak. Därifrån fick han se en vacker kvinna som badade. 3 Han sände bud för att ta reda på vem hon var och fick veta att det var Batseba, dotter till Eliam och hustru till hettiten Uria. 4 Då sände David bud efter henne. Hon kom och han låg med henne. Hon höll just på att rena sig från sin orenhet.[a] Sedan återvände hon hem.

5 När hon senare upptäckte att hon var gravid, meddelade hon David detta.

David försöker komma undan

6 Då sände David bud till Joav: ”Skicka hem hettiten Uria!” Joav skickade då Uria till David. 7 När Uria kom, frågade David hur Joav och armén i övrigt hade det och hur det gick i kriget. 8 Sedan sa han till honom att gå hem och tvätta fötterna. Uria lämnade då kungens palats och David sände en gåva till honom. 9 Men Uria gick inte hem. Han stannade över natten vid palatsets port och sov tillsammans med kungens tjänare.

10 När David fick reda på att Uria inte gått hem, frågade han honom: ”Varför gick du inte hem när du hade varit borta så länge?” 11 Uria svarade: ”Arken och Israel och Juda befinner sig i tält. Min herre Joav och min herres män har sitt läger ute på de öppna fälten. Skulle då jag gå hem för att äta och dricka och ligga med min hustru? Nej, så sant du själv lever, jag skulle aldrig göra något sådant!” 12 David sa till honom: ”Stanna här i dag! I morgon kan du återvända.”

Då stannade Uria i Jerusalem den dagen och dagen därpå. 13 David bjöd honom till sitt bord och drack honom full. Men Uria gick inte hem den kvällen heller, utan sov än en gång bland sin herres tjänare.

14 Nästa morgon skrev David ett brev till Joav som han sände med Uria. 15 Han skrev: ”Ställ Uria i första ledet, där striden är hetast, och dra er sedan undan från honom, så att han blir träffad och dödad.”

16 Då gav Joav order till Uria att gå till en plats nära den belägrade staden, där han visste att fiendens bästa män stred. 17 Stadens män kom och anföll Joav och flera av Davids män stupade. Där dödades också hettiten Uria. 18 När Joav skickade sin rapport från stridens förlopp till David, 19 sa han till sin budbärare: ”När du har talat om för kungen vad som hänt i striden, 20 blir kungen kanske vred och frågar: ’Varför gick ni så nära staden? Visste ni inte att de skulle skjuta från muren? 21 Vem var det som dödade Avimelek, Jerubbeshets son, vid Teves? En kvinna som kastade en kvarnsten på honom från muren så att han dog![b] Varför gick ni så nära muren?’ Då ska du svara: ’Också din tjänare hettiten Uria blev dödad.’ ”

22 Budbäraren kom till Jerusalem och rapporterade till David enligt de order han fått från Joav.

23 Budbäraren berättade för David: ”Männen var starkare än vi. De gjorde ett utfall mot oss på fältet, men vi jagade dem tillbaka till stadsportarna. 24 Men bågskyttarna på muren sköt på oss, dina tjänare, och några av kungens män dödades. Också din tjänare hettiten Uria är död.”

25 Då svarade David budbäraren: ”Säg till Joav att han inte ska tappa modet! Svärdet dödar den ene såväl som den andre. Kämpa hårdare nästa gång och besegra staden! Säg till honom att vara vid gott mod!”

26 När Urias hustru hörde att hennes man hade dött, höll hon dödsklagan över honom. 27 Men när sorgetiden var över, skickade David efter henne och förde henne till sitt hus. Där blev hon hans hustru och födde honom en son. Men det som David hade gjort var ont i Herrens ögon.
