David och Bat-Seba
11 (A) Nästa år, vid tiden då kungar drar ut i fält[a], sände David i väg Joab och med honom sina tjänare och hela Israel. De förgjorde ammoniterna och belägrade Rabba[b]. Men David stannade kvar i Jerusalem.
2 Då hände det en kväll, när David hade stigit upp från sin bädd och gick omkring på taket[c] till det kungliga palatset, att han från taket fick se en kvinna som badade[d]. Kvinnan var mycket vacker. 3 David sände bud och hörde sig för om kvinnan. ”Det är Bat-Seba,[e] dotter till Eliam och hustru till hetiten Uria”,[f] sade man. 4 (B) David sände då några män för att hämta henne. Hon kom till honom, och han låg med henne när hon hade renat sig från sin orenhet. Sedan återvände hon hem.
5 Men kvinnan hade blivit havande, och hon skickade bud till David och lät säga: ”Jag är havande”. 6 Då sände David bud till Joab: ”Skicka hetiten Uria till mig.” Joab skickade då Uria till David. 7 När Uria kom till honom, frågade David om det var väl med Joab och med folket och hur kriget gick. 8 Därefter sade David till Uria: ”Gå ner till ditt hus och tvätta dina fötter.” Uria lämnade då kungens palats, och kungen sände en gåva till honom.
9 Men Uria lade sig vid ingången till kungens palats bland hans herres alla andra tjänare och gick inte ner till sitt eget hus. 10 Man berättade det för David och sade: ”Uria har inte gått ner till sitt hus.” Då sade David till Uria: ”Du kommer ju från en resa. Varför gick du inte ner till ditt hus?” 11 (C) Uria svarade David: ”Arken och Israel och Juda bor i lägerhyddor, och min herre Joab och min herres tjänare har slagit läger ute på marken. Skulle jag då gå in i mitt hus för att äta och dricka och ligga med min hustru[g]? Så sant du lever och så sant din själ lever: Det kan jag inte göra.” 12 Då sade David till Uria: ”Stanna här i dag också, i morgon ska jag sända ut dig.” Uria stannade då i Jerusalem den dagen och dagen därpå. 13 David bjöd in honom till sig och lät honom äta och dricka hos honom så att han blev berusad. Men på kvällen gick Uria ut och lade sig på sin bädd bland sin herres tjänare. Han gick inte ner till sitt hus.
David låter döda Uria
14 Nästa morgon skrev David ett brev till Joab och sände det med Uria. 15 I brevet skrev han: ”Ställ Uria längst fram där striden är som hårdast. Dra er sedan tillbaka från honom så att han blir slagen och dödad.” 16 Under belägringen av staden skickade Joab Uria till platsen där han visste att de tappraste männen var. 17 Stadens män gjorde ett utfall och gick i strid med Joab, och en del av folket, av Davids tjänare, föll. Även hetiten Uria stupade.
18 Då sände Joab bud och lät berätta för David allt som hade hänt under striden. 19 Han befallde budbäraren att säga: ”När du har talat om för kungen allt som hänt under striden, 20 blir kungen kanske upprörd och säger till dig: Varför gick ni så nära staden under striden? Visste ni inte att de skulle skjuta uppifrån muren? 21 (D) Vem var det som dödade Abimelek, Jerubbeshets[h] son? Var det inte en kvinna som kastade ner en kvarnsten på honom från muren så att han dödades där i Tebes? Varför gick ni så nära muren? Då ska du säga: Din tjänare hetiten Uria är också död.”
22 Budbäraren gav sig i väg. När han kom fram berättade han för David allt som Joab hade sänt honom att säga. 23 Budbäraren sade till David: ”Männen överväldigade oss. De gjorde ett utfall mot oss på fältet, men vi slog tillbaka dem till stadsporten. 24 Då sköt skyttarna uppifrån muren på dina tjänare så att en del av kungens tjänare dog. Din tjänare hetiten Uria är också död.” 25 Då sade David till budbäraren: ”Så ska du säga till Joab: Låt det inte plåga dig, för svärdet slukar både den ene och den andre. Fullfölj med kraft belägringen av staden och förstör den. Och uppmuntra honom.”
26 När Urias hustru hörde att hennes man Uria var död, höll hon dödsklagan efter honom. 27 När sorgetiden[i] var över sände David bud och lät hämta henne till sitt hus. Hon blev hans hustru och födde honom en son. Men det som David hade gjort var ont i Herrens ögon.

David’s Adultery with Bathsheba
11 In the spring when kings march out to war, David sent Joab with his officers and all Israel. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah, but David remained in Jerusalem.(A)
2 One evening David got up from his bed and strolled around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing—a very beautiful woman. 3 So David sent someone to inquire about her, and he reported, “This is Bathsheba,(B) daughter of Eliam and wife of Uriah(C) the Hittite.”[a]
4 David sent messengers to get her, and when she came to him, he slept with her. Now she had just been purifying herself from her uncleanness.(D) Afterward, she returned home. 5 The woman conceived and sent word to inform David: “I am pregnant.”
6 David sent orders to Joab: “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” So Joab sent Uriah to David. 7 When Uriah came to him, David asked how Joab and the troops were doing and how the war was going. 8 Then he said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” So Uriah left the palace, and a gift from the king followed him. 9 But Uriah slept at the door of the palace with all his master’s servants; he did not go down to his house.
10 When it was reported to David, “Uriah didn’t go home,” David questioned Uriah, “Haven’t you just come from a journey? Why didn’t you go home?”
11 Uriah answered David, “The ark, Israel, and Judah are dwelling in tents, and my master Joab and his soldiers[b] are camping in the open field. How can I enter my house to eat and drink and sleep with my wife? As surely as you live and by your life, I will not do this!”(E)
12 “Stay here today also,” David said to Uriah, “and tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and the next. 13 Then David invited Uriah to eat and drink with him, and David got him drunk. He went out in the evening to lie down on his cot with his master’s servants, but he did not go home.
Uriah’s Death Arranged
14 The next morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah. 15 In the letter he wrote:
Put Uriah(F) at the front of the fiercest fighting, then withdraw from him so that he is struck down and dies.
16 When Joab was besieging the city, he put Uriah in the place where he knew the best enemy soldiers were. 17 Then the men of the city came out and attacked Joab, and some of the men from David’s soldiers fell in battle; Uriah the Hittite also died.
18 Joab sent someone to report to David all the details of the battle. 19 He commanded the messenger, “When you’ve finished telling the king all the details of the battle— 20 if the king’s anger gets stirred up and he asks you, ‘Why did you get so close to the city to fight? Didn’t you realize they would shoot from the top of the wall? 21 At Thebez, who struck Abimelech son of Jerubbesheth?[c][d] Didn’t a woman drop an upper millstone on him from the top of the wall so that he died?(G) Why did you get so close to the wall?’—then say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.’” 22 Then the messenger left.
When he arrived, he reported to David all that Joab had sent him to tell. 23 The messenger reported to David, “The men gained the advantage over us and came out against us in the field, but we counterattacked right up to the entrance of the gate. 24 However, the archers shot down on your soldiers from the top of the wall, and some of the king’s soldiers died. Your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead.”
25 David told the messenger, “Say this to Joab: ‘Don’t let this matter upset you because the sword devours all alike. Intensify your fight against the city and demolish it.’ Encourage him.”
26 When Uriah’s(H) wife heard that her husband Uriah had died, she mourned for him.[e] 27 When the time of mourning ended, David had her brought to his house. She became his wife and bore him a son. However, the Lord considered what David had done to be evil.(I)

大卫和拔示巴
11 过了一年，正是诸王出战的时候，大卫派约押率领臣仆和以色列众人出去。他们打败亚扪人，围攻拉巴。大卫仍然留在耶路撒冷。
2 黄昏的时候，大卫从床上起来，在王宫的平顶上散步。他从平顶上看见一个妇人沐浴，这妇人容貌非常美丽。 3 大卫派人打听那妇人是谁。有人说：“她不是以连的女儿，赫人乌利亚的妻子拔示巴吗？” 4 大卫派使者去把妇人接来；她来到大卫那里，那时她的月经刚洁净，大卫与她同寝。她就回家去了。 5 那妇人怀了孕，派人去告诉大卫说：“我怀孕了。”
6 大卫派人告诉约押：“你派赫人乌利亚到我这里来。”约押就派乌利亚到大卫那里。 7 乌利亚来到大卫那里，大卫问约押好，也问士兵好，又问战争的情况。 8 大卫对乌利亚说：“下到你家去，洗洗脚吧！”乌利亚出了王宫，随后王送他一份礼物。 9 乌利亚却和他主人所有的仆人一同睡在王宫门口，没有下到他家去。 10 有人告诉大卫说：“乌利亚没有下到他的家。”大卫就对乌利亚说：“你不是从远路上来吗？为什么不下到你家去呢？” 11 乌利亚对大卫说：“约柜，以色列和犹大都留在棚里，我主约押和我主的仆人都在田野安营，我岂可回家吃喝，与妻子同房呢？我指着王和王的性命起誓：‘我绝不做这事！’” 12 大卫对乌利亚说：“你今日仍留在这里，明日我打发你去。”于是乌利亚那日留在耶路撒冷。次日， 13 大卫召了乌利亚来，叫他在自己面前吃喝，使他喝醉。黄昏的时候，乌利亚出去，躺卧在自己的床上；与他主的仆人在一起，并没有下到他的家去。
大卫谋杀乌利亚
14 早晨，大卫写信给约押，交乌利亚亲手带去。 15 他在信内写着说：“要派乌利亚到战争激烈的前线去，然后你们撤退离开他，使他被击杀而死。” 16 约押侦察城的时候，知道敌人哪里有勇士，就派乌利亚到那地方。 17 城里的人出来和约押打仗，大卫的仆人中有几个士兵被杀，赫人乌利亚也死了。
18 于是，约押派人去将战争的一切事奏告大卫， 19 又吩咐使者说：“你把战争的一切事对王说完了， 20 王若发怒，对你说：‘你们打仗为什么挨近城呢？岂不知敌人会从城墙上射箭吗？ 21 从前击杀耶路比设[a]的儿子亚比米勒的是谁呢？岂不是一个妇人从城墙上抛下一块上磨石来，打在他身上，他就死在提备斯吗？你们为什么挨近城墙呢？’你就说：‘你的仆人赫人乌利亚也死了。’”
22 使者就去，照着约押所吩咐的一切话来奏告大卫。[b] 23 使者对大卫说：“敌人强过我们，出到郊外攻打我们，我们把他们赶回到城门口。 24 弓箭手从城墙上射你的仆人，射死几个王的仆人，你的仆人赫人乌利亚也死了。” 25 大卫向使者说：“你对约押这样说：‘不要为这事难过，因为刀剑可能吞灭这人或那人。你只管竭力攻城，将城倾覆。’你要勉励约押。”
26 乌利亚的妻听见丈夫乌利亚死了，就为丈夫哀哭。 27 居丧的日子过了，大卫派人把她接到宫里，她就作了大卫的妻子，给大卫生了一个儿子。但大卫做的这事，耶和华的眼中看为恶。

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.

David and Bathsheba
11 (A)(B)In the spring of the year, the time when kings go out to battle, David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel. And they ravaged the Ammonites and besieged (C)Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.
2 It happened, late one afternoon, when David arose from his couch and was walking on (D)the roof of the king's house, that he saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful. 3 And David sent and enquired about the woman. And one said, “Is not this (E)Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of (F)Uriah the Hittite?” 4 So David sent messengers and took her, and she came to him, and he lay with her. ((G)Now she had been purifying herself from her uncleanness.) Then she returned to her house. 5 And the woman conceived, and she sent and told David, “I am pregnant.”
6 So David sent word to Joab, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” And Joab sent Uriah to David. 7 When Uriah came to him, David asked how Joab was doing and how the people were doing and how the war was going. 8 Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and (H)wash your feet.” And Uriah went out of the king's house, and there followed him a present from the king. 9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house. 10 When they told David, “Uriah did not go down to his house”, David said to Uriah, “Have you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?” 11 Uriah said to David, (I)“The ark and Israel and Judah dwell in booths, and my lord Joab and (J)the servants of my lord are camping in the open field. Shall I then go to my house, to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? As you live, and (K)as your soul lives, I will not do this thing.” 12 Then David said to Uriah, “Remain here today also, and tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next. 13 And David invited him, and he ate in his presence and drank, (L)so that he made him drunk. And in the evening he went out to lie on his couch with (M)the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.
14 In the morning David (N)wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 15 In the letter he wrote, “Set Uriah in the forefront of the hardest fighting, and then draw back from him, (O)that he may be struck down, and die.” 16 And as Joab was besieging the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew there were valiant men. 17 And the men of the city came out and fought with Joab, and some of the servants of David among the people fell. Uriah the Hittite also died. 18 Then Joab sent and told David all the news about the fighting. 19 And he instructed the messenger, “When you have finished telling all the news about the fighting to the king, 20 then, if the king's anger rises, and if he says to you, ‘Why did you go so near the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall? 21 (P)Who killed Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Did not a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so 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 him to tell. 23 The messenger said to David, “The men gained an advantage over us and came out against us in the field, but we drove them back to the entrance of the gate. 24 Then the archers shot at your servants from the wall. Some of the king's servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.” 25 David said to the messenger, “Thus shall you say to Joab, ‘Do not let this matter trouble you, for the sword devours now one and now another. Strengthen your attack against the city and overthrow it.’ And encourage him.”
26 When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she lamented over her husband. 27 And when the mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and (Q)she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the Lord.
