2 Samuel 11:2-5

2 It happened, late one afternoon, when David arose from his couch and was walking on ^athe 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 inquired about the woman. And one said, “Is not this ^bBathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of ^cUriah the Hittite?” 4 So David sent messengers and took her, and she came to him, and he lay with her. ( ^dNow 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.”
