11:1

And it came to pass, after the year
<08141>

was expired
<08666>_,

at the time
<06256>

when kings
<04428> (8675) <04397>

go forth
<03318> (8800)

[to battle], that David
<01732>

sent
<07971> (8799)

Joab
<03097>_,

and his servants
<05650>

with him, and all Israel
<03478>_;

and they destroyed
<07843> (8686)

the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and besieged
<06696> (8799)

Rabbah
<07237>_.

But David

from off his bed
<04904>_,

and walked
<01980> (8691)

upon the roof
<01406>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_:

he saw
<07200> (8799)

a woman
<0802>

washing
<07364> (8801)

herself; and the woman

to look upon

<07971> (8799)

and enquired
<01875> (8799)

after the woman

And [one] said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is] not this Bathsheba
<01339>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Eliam
<0463>_,

the wife

the Hittite

sent

<0935> (8799)

unto him, and he lay
<07901> (8799)

with her; for she was purified
<06942> (8693)

from her uncleanness
<02932>_:

and she returned
<07725> (8799)

unto her house
<01004>_.
