Chap. XI.
Dauid ouercome with concupiscence committeth adulterie with Bethsabee: 6.
not finding other meanes to hide the crime, causeth her husband Vrias to be
slaine. 27. Then marieth her, she beareth a sonne, and God is offended.
1 And it came to passe the yeare turning about, at such
time when kinges are wont to procede to battels, Dauid
sent Ioab, and his seruantes with him, and al Israel, and they
spoyled the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabba: but
Dauid remayned in Ierusalem.
2 Whiles these thinges were
in doing, it chanced that Dauid arose from his bed after

noone, and walked in the toppe of the kinges house: and he
saw a woman washing her self, ouer against the roofe of his
house: and the woman was very beautiful.
3 The king therefore
sent, and inquired what woman it was. And it was told
him, that she was Bethsabee the daughter of Eliam, the wife
of Vrias the Hetheitc.
4 Dauid therefore sending messengers,
note tooke her, who when she was entered in to him, he slept
with her: and forthwith she was sanctified from her vnclennes:
5 and she returned into her house hauing conceiued
a childe. And sending she told Dauid, and sayd: I haue conceiued.
6 And Dauid sent to Ioab, saying: Send me Vrias the
Hetheite. And Ioab sent Vrias to Dauid.
7 And Vrias came
to Dauid. And Dauid asked how wel Ioab did, & the people,
and how the warre was ordered.
8 And Dauid sayd to Vrias:
Goe into thy house, and wash thy feete. And Vrias went forth
out of the kinges house, and the kinges meate folowed him.
9 But Vrias slept before the gate of the kinges house, with
the other seruantes of his lord, and went not downe to his
owne house.
10 And it was told Dauid of them that sayd:
Vrias went not into his house. And Dauid sayd to Vrias: didst
thou not come from thy iourney? Why didst thou not goe
downe into thy house?
11 And Vrias sayd to Dauid: The Arke
of God and Israel and Iuda dwel in pauilions, & my lord Ioab
and the seruantes of my lord abide vpon the face of the earth:
and shal I enter into my house, to eate and to drinke, and
sleepe with my wife? by thy health, and by the health of thy
soule I wil not do this thing.
12 Dauid therefore sayd to Vrias:
Tarie here also this day, and to mo row I wil dismisse thee.
Vrias taried in Ierusalem that day and the next:
13 and Dauid
called him to eate before him and to drinke, and he made him
drunke: who going out at euen, slept on his couche with the
seruantes of his lord, and went not downe into his house.
14 The morning therefore was come, and Dauid wrote a
letter to Ioab: and sent it by the hand of Vrias,
15 writing in
the letter: Sette ye Vrias in the front of the battel, where the
fight is strongest: and leaue him, that being striken he may
die.
16 Therefore when Ioab besieged the citie, he put Vrias
in the place where he knew the strongest men were.
17 And
the men issuing out of the citie, fought against Ioab, and
there fel of the people of the seruantes of Dauid, and Vrias
also the Hetheite died.
18 Ioab therefore sent, and told Dauid
-- --
Dauid.
al the story of the battel:
19 and he commanded the messenger,
saying: When thou hast told al the story of the battel to
the king,
20 if thou see him to be angrie, and he say: Why approched
you to the wal, to fight? Knew you not that manie
weapons are throwen from aboue of the wal?
21 Who stroke
Abimelec the sonne of Ierobaal? did not a woman cast vpon
him a peece of a milstone from the wal, and slew him in
Thebes? Why approched you nere the wal? Thou shalt say:
Also thy seruant Vrias the Hetheite is slayne.
22 The messenger
therefore departed, and came, and told Dauid al thinges
that Ioab had commanded him.
23 And the messenger sayd to
Dauid: The men haue preuailed against vs, and they issued
forth to vs into the field: and we violently pursewed them
euen to the gate of the citie.
24 And the archers shot arrowes
at thy seruantes from of the wal aboue: and there died of
the kinges seruantes, yea and thy seruant Vrias the Hetheite
is dead.
25 And Dauid sayd to the messenger: Thus shalt thou
say to Ioab: Let not this thing discomfort thee: for the euent
of warre is diuerse: now this man, and now that man the
sword consumeth: encourage thy warryers against the citie,
that thou mayst destroy it, and exhort them.
26 Also the wife
of Vrias heard, that Vrias her husband was dead, & she mourned
for him.
27 And the mourning being past Dauid sent, and
brought her in into his house, and she became his wife, and
she bare him a sonne: and this thing which Dauid had done,
was displeasant before our Lord.
