2 Samuel 11:4 in Context — 2 Samuel 11

2 Un soir, David se leva de sa couche; et, comme il se promenait sur le toit de la maison royale, il aperçut de là une femme qui se baignait, et qui était très belle de figure.

3 David fit demander qui était cette femme, et on lui dit: N’est-ce pas Bath-Schéba, fille d’Éliam, femme d’Urie, le Héthien?

4 Et David envoya des gens pour la chercher. Elle vint vers lui, et il coucha avec elle. Après s’être purifiée de sa souillure, elle retourna dans sa maison.

5 Cette femme devint enceinte, et elle fit dire à David: Je suis enceinte.

6 Alors David expédia cet ordre à Joab: Envoie-moi Urie, le Héthien. Et Joab envoya Urie à David.
