10:010:019 And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw
           that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with
           Israel, and served them.  So the Syrians feared to help the
           children of Ammon any more.

10:011:001 And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time
           when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his
           servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the
           children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah.  But David tarried
           still at Jerusalem.

10:011:002 And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from
           off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house:  and
           from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman
           was very beautiful to look upon.

10:011:003 And David sent and enquired after the woman.  And one said, Is
           not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah
           the Hittite?

10:011:004 And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto
           him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her
           uncleanness:  and she returned unto her house.

10:011:005 And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I
           am with child.

10:011:006 And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite.  And
           Joab sent Uriah to David.

10:011:007 And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how
           Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.

10:011:008 And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy
           feet.  And Uriah departed out of the king’s house, and there
           followed him a mess of meat from the king.

10:011:009 But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the
           servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.

10:011:010 And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto
           his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy
           journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house?

10:011:011 And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah,
           abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord,
           are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine
           house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou
           livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.

10:011:012 And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow
           I will let thee depart.  So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day,
           and the morrow.

10:011:013 And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before
           him; and he made him drunk:  and at even he went out to lie on
           his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to
           his house.
