David’s Adultery
11 One spring day, during the time of year when kings go off to war, David sent out Joab, along with his personal staff[a] and all of Israel’s army. They utterly destroyed the Ammonites and then attacked Rabbah while David remained in Jerusalem. 2 Late one afternoon about dusk,[b] David got up from his couch and was walking around on the roof of the royal palace. From there[c] he watched a woman taking a bath, and she[d] was very beautiful to look at.
