David sees her from the roof.

The narrative gives the minimum detail necessary. A woman bathing. Very beautiful. David sends for her. Lies with her. She conceives. Three verses, from sight to adultery to pregnancy.

Then the cover-up.

David summons Uriah from the battlefield, trying to get him to sleep with Bathsheba to obscure the paternity. Uriah refuses out of loyalty to his fellow soldiers.

David arranges Uriah’s death, placing him where the fighting is fiercest.

Uriah dies.

David takes Bathsheba as his wife.

The thing David had done displeased God.
