The passage recounts how David, remaining in Jerusalem while his armies besiege Rabbah, spots Bathsheba bathing, summons and sleeps with her, and then \u2014 upon learning she is pregnant \u2014 recalls her husband Uriah from the front in an attempt to cover up the affair. When Uriah refuses to sleep at home out of solidarity with his fellow soldiers in the field, David has him sent back to the battle carrying sealed orders to Joab instructing that Uriah be placed at the most dangerous position and abandoned. Uriah is killed, David takes Bathsheba as a wife after her mourning period, and the chapter closes with the editorial verdict that \"the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.\" The format is a tool for textual comparison rather than commentary, allowing readers to trace word-level correspondences between the Hebrew source, its Greek translation, and the English rendering \u2014 the Strong's numbers in the KJV column function as a concordance index linking each English word back to its Hebrew root. No interpretive argument is made; the work is a raw parallel-text resource for biblical scholars or students studying translation choices and manuscript traditions.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: 2 Samuel: 2 Samuel 11","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":2725}
