2 Samuel 11

1 And it came to pass, at the return of the year, at the time of the going forth of kings, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel, and they destroyed the sons of Ammon, and laid siege to Rabbah, —but, David, was remaining in Jerusalem.

and to be to/for turn [the] year to/for time to come out: come ([the] messenger *LBH(a+C)*) and to send: depart David [obj] Joab and [obj] servant/slave his with him and [obj] all Israel and to ruin [obj] son: descendant/people Ammon and to confine upon Rabbah and David to dwell in/on/with Jerusalem

2 And it came to pass that, at eventide, David arose from his couch, and walked to and fro on the roof of the king’s house, when, from the roof, he saw a woman bathing herself, —the woman being exceeding beautiful to look upon.

and to be to/for time [the] evening and to arise: rise David from upon bed his and to go: walk upon roof house: home [the] king and to see: see woman to wash: wash from upon [the] roof and [the] woman pleasant appearance much

5 And the woman, having conceived, sent and told David, and said, I am with child.

6 Then sent David unto Joab, Send unto me Uriah the Hittite. So Joab sent Uriah unto David.

and to send: depart David to(wards) Joab to send: depart to(wards) me [obj] Uriah [the] Hittite and to send: depart Joab [obj] Uriah to(wards) David

7 And, when Uriah had come in unto him, David asked—how Joab prospered, and how the people prospered, and how the war prospered.

and to come (in): come Uriah to(wards) him and to ask David to/for peace: greeting Joab and to/for peace: greeting [the] people and to/for peace: greeting [the] battle

8 Then said David unto Uriah, Go down unto thy house, and bathe thy feet. And, when Uriah went out of the house of the king, there followed him, a present from the king.

and to say David to/for Uriah to go down to/for house: home your and to wash: wash foot your and to come out: come Uriah from house: home [the] king and to come out: come after him tribute [the] king

9 But Uriah slept at the entrance of the king’s house, with all the servants of his lord, —and went not down unto his own house.

and to lie down: sleep Uriah entrance house: home [the] king with all servant/slave lord his and not to go down to(wards) house: home his

10 And it was told David, saying, Uriah went not down, unto his own house. So David said unto Uriah—Was it not, from a journey, thou didst come? why, then, hast thou not been down unto thine own house?

and to tell to/for David to/for to say not to go down Uriah to(wards) house: home his and to say David to(wards) Uriah not from way: journey you(m. s.) to come (in): come why? not to go down to(wards) house: home your

11 And Uriah said unto David—The ark, and Israel and Judah, are dwelling in huts and, my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, on the face of the field, are encamped, Was, I, then, to enter my own house, to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? By thy life, yea by the life of thy soul, I could not do this thing.

12 Then said David unto Uriah—Abide here to-day also, and, to-morrow, will I let thee go. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.

and to say David to(wards) Uriah to dwell in/on/with this also [the] day and tomorrow to send: depart you and to dwell Uriah in/on/with Jerusalem in/on/with day [the] he/she/it and from morrow

13 And David called him, and he did eat before him, and drank, and he made him drunk, —and he went forth in the evening to lie down on his bed, with the servants of his lord, but, unto his own house, went he not down.

and to call: call to to/for him David and to eat to/for face: before his and to drink and be drunk him and to come out: come in/on/with evening to/for to lie down: lay down in/on/with bed his with servant/slave lord his and to(wards) house: home his not to go down

14 And so it was, in the morning, that David wrote a letter unto Joab, —and sent it by the hand of Uriah;

and to be in/on/with morning and to write David scroll: document to(wards) Joab and to send: depart in/on/with hand: power Uriah

15 and he wrote in the letter, saying, —Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he be smitten and die.

and to write in/on/with scroll: document to/for to say to give [obj] Uriah to(wards) opposite face: before [the] battle [the] strong and to return: return from after him and to smite and to die

and to be in/on/with to keep: look at Joab to(wards) [the] city and to give: put [obj] Uriah to(wards) [the] place which to know for human strength there

and to come out: come human [the] city and to fight with Joab and to fall: kill from [the] people from servant/slave David and to die also Uriah [the] Hittite

18 So Joab sent and told David all the news of the battle;

and to send: depart Joab and to tell to/for David [obj] all word: deed [the] battle

19 and he charged the messenger saying, —When thou hast ended all the news of the battle, in speaking unto the king,

and to command [obj] [the] messenger to/for to say like/as to end: finish you [obj] all word: deed [the] battle to/for to speak: speak to(wards) [the] king

20 then shall it be, if the king’s anger arise, and he say unto thee, Why came ye near unto the city, to fight? Knew ye not, that they would shoot from off the wall?

and to be if to ascend: rise rage [the] king and to say to/for you why? to approach: approach to(wards) [the] city to/for to fight not to know [obj] which to shoot from upon [the] wall

21 Who smote Abimelech son of Jerubbaal? Did not, a woman, cast on him an upper millstone from off the wall, that he died, in Thebez? Wherefore came ye near unto the wall? Then shalt thou say—Moreover, thy servant, Uriah the Hittite, died.

and to go: went [the] messenger and to come (in): come and to tell to/for David [obj] all which to send: depart him Joab

23 And the messenger said unto David, The men were too strong for us, and sallied forth against us, in the field, —so we were drawn against them as far as the opening of the gate.

and to say [the] messenger to(wards) David for to prevail upon us [the] human and to come out: come to(wards) us [the] land: country and to be upon them till entrance [the] gate

24 Then did the archers shoot upon thy servants, from off the wall, and there died some of the servants of the king, —moreover also, thy servant, Uriah the Hittite, died.

(and to shoot *Q(K)*) ([the] to shoot *Q(k)*) to(wards) servant/slave your from upon [the] wall and to die from servant/slave [the] king and also servant/slave your Uriah [the] Hittite to die

25 Then said David unto the messenger—Thus, shalt thou say unto Joab, —Let not this thing be grievous in thine eyes, for, now this one, and then that one, doth the sword devour, —make hot thy battle against the city, and overthrow it; Thus embolden thou him.

and to say David to(wards) [the] messenger thus to say to(wards) Joab not be evil in/on/with eye: appearance your [obj] [the] word: thing [the] this for like/as this and like/as this to eat [the] sword to strengthen: strengthen battle your to(wards) [the] city and to overthrow her and to strengthen: strengthen him

26 And, when Uriah’s wife heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made loud lamentation over her lord.

and to hear: hear woman: wife Uriah for to die Uriah man: husband her and to mourn upon master: husband her

27 And, when the time of mourning had passed, David sent and received her into his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing which David had done was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh.

and to pass [the] mourning and to send: depart David and to gather her to(wards) house: home his and to be to/for him to/for woman: wife and to beget to/for him son: child and be evil [the] word: thing which to make: do David in/on/with eye: appearance LORD
