  1. 1And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.וַיְהִי֩ לִתְשׁוּבַ֨ת הַשָּׁנָ֜ה לְעֵ֣ת צֵ֣את הַמַּלְאֿכִ֗ים וַיִּשְׁלַ֣ח דָּוִ֡ד אֶת יוֹאָב֩ וְאֶת עֲבָדָ֨יו עִמּ֜וֹ וְאֶת כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל וַיַּשְׁחִ֨תוּ֙ אֶת בְּנֵ֣י עַמּ֔וֹן וַיָּצֻ֖רוּ עַל רַבָּ֑ה וְדָוִ֖ד יוֹשֵׁ֥ב בִּירוּשָׁלִָֽם
  2. 2And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.וַיְהִ֣י לְעֵ֣ת הָעֶ֗רֶב וַיָּ֨קָם דָּוִ֜ד מֵעַ֤ל מִשְׁכָּבוֹ֙ וַיִּתְהַלֵּךְ֙ עַל גַּ֣ג בֵּית הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַיַּ֥רְא אִשָּׁ֛ה רֹחֶ֖צֶת מֵעַ֣ל הַגָּ֑ג וְהָ֣אִשָּׁ֔ה טוֹבַ֥ת מַרְאֶ֖ה מְאֹֽד
  3. 3And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?וַיִּשְׁלַ֣ח דָּוִ֔ד וַיִּדְרֹ֖שׁ לָֽאִשָּׁ֑ה וַיֹּ֗אמֶר הֲלוֹא זֹאת֙ שֶׁ֣בַע בַּת אֱלִיעָ֔ם אֵ֖שֶׁת אוּרִיָּ֥ה הַחִתִּֽי
  4. 4And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.וַיִּשְׁלַח֩ דָּוִ֨ד מַלְאָכִ֜ים וַיִּקָּחֶ֗הָ וַתָּב֤וֹא אֵלָיו֙ וַיִּשְׁכַּ֣ב עִמָּ֔הּ וְהִ֥יא מִתְקַדֶּ֖שֶׁת מִטֻּמְאָתָ֑הּ וַתָּ֖שָׁב אֶל בֵּיתָֽהּ
  5. 5And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.וַתַּ֖הַר הָֽאִשָּׁ֑ה וַתִּשְׁלַח֙ וַתַּגֵּ֣ד לְדָוִ֔ד וַתֹּ֖אמֶר הָרָ֥ה אָנֹֽכִי
  6. 6And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח דָּוִד֙ אֶל יוֹאָ֔ב שְׁלַ֣ח אֵלַ֔י אֶת אֽוּרִיָּ֖ה הַחִתִּ֑י וַיִּשְׁלַ֥ח יוֹאָ֛ב אֶת אֽוּרִיָּ֖ה אֶל דָּוִֽד
  7. 7And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.וַיָּבֹ֥א אוּרִיָּ֖ה אֵלָ֑יו וַיִּשְׁאַ֣ל דָּוִ֗ד לִשְׁל֤וֹם יוֹאָב֙ וְלִשְׁל֣וֹם הָעָ֔ם וְלִשְׁל֖וֹם הַמִּלְחָמָֽה
  8. 8And David said to Uriah, Go down to 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.וַיֹּ֤אמֶר דָּוִד֙ לְא֣וּרִיָּ֔ה רֵ֥ד לְבֵיתְךָ֖ וּרְחַ֣ץ רַגְלֶ֑יךָ וַיֵּצֵ֤א אֽוּרִיָּה֙ מִבֵּ֣ית הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַתֵּצֵ֥א אַחֲרָ֖יו מַשְׂאַ֥ת הַמֶּֽלֶךְ
  9. 9But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.וַיִּשְׁכַּ֣ב אוּרִיָּ֗ה פֶּ֚תַח בֵּ֣ית הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ אֵ֖ת כָּל עַבְדֵ֣י אֲדֹנָ֑יו וְלֹ֥א יָרַ֖ד אֶל בֵּיתֽוֹ
  10. 10And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house?וַיַּגִּ֤דוּ לְדָוִד֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר לֹֽא יָרַ֥ד אוּרִיָּ֖ה אֶל בֵּית֑וֹ וַיֹּ֨אמֶר דָּוִ֜ד אֶל אוּרִיָּ֗ה הֲל֤וֹא מִדֶּ֨רֶךְ֙ אַתָּ֣ה בָ֔א מַדּ֖וּעַ לֹֽא יָרַ֥דְתָּ אֶל בֵּיתֶֽךָ
  11. 11And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אוּרִיָּ֜ה אֶל דָּוִ֗ד הָ֠אָרוֹן וְיִשְׂרָאֵ֨ל וִֽיהוּדָ֜ה יֹשְׁבִ֣ים בַּסֻּכּ֗וֹת וַאדֹנִ֨י יוֹאָ֜ב וְעַבְדֵ֤י אֲדֹנִ֨י עַל פְּנֵ֤י הַשָּׂדֶה֙ חֹנִ֔ים וַאֲנִ֞י אָב֧וֹא אֶל בֵּיתִ֛י לֶאֱכֹ֥ל וְלִשְׁתּ֖וֹת וְלִשְׁכַּ֣ב עִם אִשְׁתִּ֑י חַיֶּ֨ךָ֙ וְחֵ֣י נַפְשֶׁ֔ךָ אִֽם אֶעֱשֶׂ֖ה אֶת הַדָּבָ֥ר הַזֶּֽה
  12. 12And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.וַיֹּ֨אמֶר דָּוִ֜ד אֶל אוּרִיָּ֗ה שֵׁ֥ב בָּזֶ֛ה גַּם הַיּ֖וֹם וּמָחָ֣ר אֲשַׁלְּחֶ֑ךָּ וַיֵּ֨שֶׁב אוּרִיָּ֧ה בִירוּשָׁלִַ֛ם בַּיּ֥וֹם הַה֖וּא וּמִֽמָּחֳרָֽת
  13. 13And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.וַיִּקְרָא דָוִ֗ד וַיֹּ֧אכַל לְפָנָ֛יו וַיֵּ֖שְׁתְּ וַֽיְשַׁכְּרֵ֑הוּ וַיֵּצֵ֣א בָעֶ֗רֶב לִשְׁכַּ֤ב בְּמִשְׁכָּבוֹ֙ עִם עַבְדֵ֣י אֲדֹנָ֔יו וְאֶל בֵּית֖וֹ לֹ֥א יָרָֽד
  14. 14And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.וַיְהִ֣י בַבֹּ֔קֶר וַיִּכְתֹּ֥ב דָּוִ֛ד סֵ֖פֶר אֶל יוֹאָ֑ב וַיִּשְׁלַ֖ח בְּיַ֥ד אוּרִיָּֽה
  15. 15And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.וַיִּכְתֹּ֥ב בַּסֵּ֖פֶר לֵאמֹ֑ר הָב֣וּ אֶת אֽוּרִיָּ֗ה אֶל מוּל֙ פְּנֵ֤י הַמִּלְחָמָה֙ הַֽחֲזָקָ֔ה וְשַׁבְתֶּ֥ם מֵאַחֲרָ֖יו וְנִכָּ֥ה וָמֵֽת
  16. 16And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were.וַיְהִ֕י בִּשְׁמ֥וֹר יוֹאָ֖ב אֶל הָעִ֑יר וַיִּתֵּן֙ אֶת א֣וּרִיָּ֔ה אֶל הַמָּקוֹם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יָדַ֔ע כִּ֥י אַנְשֵׁי חַ֖יִל שָֽׁם
  17. 17And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.וַיֵּ֨צְא֜וּ אַנְשֵׁ֤י הָעִיר֙ וַיִּלָּחֲמ֣וּ אֶת יוֹאָ֔ב וַיִּפֹּ֥ל מִן הָעָ֖ם מֵעַבְדֵ֣י דָוִ֑ד וַיָּ֕מָת גַּ֖ם אוּרִיָּ֥ה הַחִתִּֽי
  18. 18Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;וַיִּשְׁלַ֖ח יוֹאָ֑ב וַיַּגֵּ֣ד לְדָוִ֔ד אֶת כָּל דִּבְרֵ֖י הַמִּלְחָמָֽה
  19. 19And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,וַיְצַ֥ו אֶת הַמַּלְאָ֖ךְ לֵאמֹ֑ר כְּכַלּוֹתְךָ֗ אֵ֛ת כָּל דִּבְרֵ֥י הַמִּלְחָמָ֖ה לְדַבֵּ֥ר אֶל הַמֶּֽלֶךְ
  20. 20And if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?וְהָיָ֗ה אִֽם תַּעֲלֶה֙ חֲמַ֣ת הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וְאָמַ֣ר מַדּ֛וּעַ נִגַּשְׁתֶּ֥ם אֶל הָעִ֖יר לְהִלָּחֵ֑ם הֲל֣וֹא יְדַעְתֶּ֔ם אֵ֥ת אֲשֶׁר יֹר֖וּ מֵעַ֥ל הַחוֹמָֽה
  21. 21Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.מִֽי הִכָּ֞ה אֶת אֲבִימֶ֣לֶךְ בֶּן יְרֻבֶּ֗שֶׁת הֲלֽוֹא אִשָּׁ֡ה הִשְׁלִ֣יכָה עָלָיו֩ פֶּ֨לַח רֶ֜כֶב מֵעַ֤ל הַֽחוֹמָה֙ וַיָּ֣מָת בְּתֵבֵ֔ץ לָ֥מָּה נִגַּשְׁתֶּ֖ם אֶל הַֽחוֹמָ֑ה וְאָ֣מַרְתָּ֔ גַּ֗ם עַבְדְּךָ֛ אוּרִיָּ֥ה הַחִתִּ֖י מֵֽת
  22. 22So the messenger went, and came and shewed David all that Joab had sent him for.וַיֵּ֖לֶךְ הַמַּלְאָ֑ךְ וַיָּבֹא֙ וַיַּגֵּ֣ד לְדָוִ֔ד אֵ֛ת כָּל אֲשֶׁ֥ר שְׁלָח֖וֹ יוֹאָֽב
  23. 23And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate.וַיֹּ֤אמֶר הַמַּלְאָךְ֙ אֶל דָּוִ֔ד כִּֽי גָבְר֤וּ עָלֵ֨ינוּ֙ הָֽאֲנָשִׁ֔ים וַיֵּצְא֥וּ אֵלֵ֖ינוּ הַשָּׂדֶ֑ה וַנִּהְיֶ֥ה עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם עַד פֶּ֥תַח הַשָּֽׁעַר
  24. 24And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants; and some of the king's servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.ויראו וַיֹּר֨וּ המוראים הַמּוֹרִ֤ים אֶל עֲבָדֶ֨ךָ֙ מֵעַ֣ל הַחוֹמָ֔ה וַיָּמ֖וּתוּ מֵעַבְדֵ֣י הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ וְגַ֗ם עַבְדְּךָ֛ אוּרִיָּ֥ה הַחִתִּ֖י מֵֽת
  25. 25Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage thou him.וַיֹּ֨אמֶר דָּוִ֜ד אֶל הַמַּלְאָ֗ךְ כֹּֽה תֹאמַ֤ר אֶל יוֹאָב֙ אַל יֵרַ֤ע בְּעֵינֶ֨יךָ֙ אֶת הַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֔ה כִּֽי כָזֹ֥ה וְכָזֶ֖ה תֹּאכַ֣ל הֶחָ֑רֶב הַחֲזֵ֨ק מִלְחַמְתְּךָ֧ אֶל הָעִ֛יר וְהָרְסָ֖הּ וְחַזְּקֵֽהוּ
  26. 26And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.וַתִּשְׁמַע֙ אֵ֣שֶׁת אֽוּרִיָּ֔ה כִּי מֵ֖ת אוּרִיָּ֣ה אִישָׁ֑הּ וַתִּסְפֹּ֖ד עַל בַּעְלָֽהּ
  27. 27And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.וַיַּעֲבֹ֣ר הָאֵ֗בֶל וַיִּשְׁלַ֨ח דָּוִ֜ד וַיַּאַסְפָ֤הּ אֶל בֵּיתוֹ֙ וַתְּהִי לְאִשָּׁ֔ה וַתֵּ֥לֶד בֵּ֑ן וַיֵּ֧רַע הַדָּבָ֛ר אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂ֥ה דָוִ֖ד בְּעֵינֵ֥י יְהוָֽה

YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
