2 Samuel 11:2 in Context — 2 Samuel 11

1 E aconteceu à volta de um ano, no tempo que saem os reis à guerra, que Davi enviou a Joabe, e a seus servos com ele, e a todo Israel; e destruíram aos amonitas, e puseram cerco a Rabá: mas Davi se ficou em Jerusalém.

2 E aconteceu que levantando-se Davi de sua cama à hora da tarde, passeava-se pelo terraço da casa real, quando viu desde o terraço uma mulher que se estava lavando, a qual era muito bela.

3 E enviou Davi a preguntar por aquela mulher, e disseram-lhe: Aquela é Bate-Seba filha de Eliã, mulher de Urias Heteu.

4 E Davi enviou mensageiros, e tomou-a: e assim que entrou a ele, ele dormiu com ela. Purificou-se logo ela de sua imundícia, e se voltou à sua casa.
