2 Samuel 11:25-27

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁵ David said to the messenger, “This is what you are to say to Joab, ‘Don’t let this thing trouble you, because a sword can kill one person as easily as another. Strengthen your attack against the city, and destroy it.’ Say this to encourage him.”

²⁶ When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband Uriah was dead, she mourned for him. ²⁷ When her mourning was over, David sent for her and brought her to his home, and she became his wife. Then she gave birth to a son. But the Lord considered David’s actions evil.
