5. And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
6. And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
7. And when Uriah was come unto him, David asked of him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.
8. And David said to Uriah, Go down thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king.
9. But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
