2 Samuel 11
King David became aware of a beautiful woman named Bathsheba. Though she was married, David sent messengers to bring her to his palace. He slept with her and she became pregnant. When David learned that she was pregnant, he ordered her husband , Uriah, to return from the battle field and to "go home and relax" with his wife. Later, David discovered that Uriah had not gone home since he wanted to return to the battlefield. David then planned to have Uriah killed by sending him to the front lines of the war, where the battle was the fiercest. He instructed his army commander, Joab, of his plans and later learned that Uriah had indeed been killed. After Bethsheba had mourned for her husband, David sent for her and brought her to the palace, and she became one his wives. Bethsheba gave birth to David's son, but "the Lord was displeased with what David had done".
