23 Le messager dit à David: Ces gens ont eu sur nous l’avantage; ils avaient fait une sortie contre nous dans les champs, et nous les avons repoussés jusqu’à l’entrée de la porte;
24 les archers ont tiré du haut de la muraille sur tes serviteurs, et plusieurs des serviteurs du roi ont été tués, et ton serviteur Urie, le Héthien, est mort aussi.
25 David dit au messager: Voici ce que tu diras à Joab: Ne sois point peiné de cette affaire, car l’épée dévore tantôt l’un, tantôt l’autre; attaque vigoureusement la ville, et renverse-la. Et toi, encourage-le!
26 La femme d’Urie apprit que son mari était mort, et elle pleura son mari.
27 Quand le deuil fut passé, David l’envoya chercher et la recueillit dans sa maison. Elle devint sa femme, et lui enfanta un fils. Ce que David avait fait déplut à l’Éternel.
