2 Samuel 11:3-5
International Standard Version

3 David sent word[a] to inquire about her,[b] and someone told him, “This is Eliam’s daughter Bathsheba,[c] the wife of Uriah the Hittite, isn’t it?” 4 So David sent some messengers, took her from her home,[d] and she went to him, and he had sex with her. (She had been consecrating herself following her menstrual separation.)[e] Then she returned to her home.

5 The woman conceived, and she sent this message[f] to David: “I’m pregnant.”
