داود وبثشبع

1 وَفِي رَبِيعِ الْعَامِ التَّالِي، فِي الْمَوْسِمِ الَّذِي اعْتَادَ فِيهِ الْمُلُوكُ الْخُرُوجَ لِلْحَرْبِ، أَرْسَلَ دَاوُدُ قَائِدَ جَيْشِهِ يُوآبَ عَلَى رَأْسِ قُوَّاتِهِ حَيْثُ هَاجَمُوا بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَقَهَرُوهُمْ، وَحَاصَرُوا مَدِينَةَ رِبَّةَ، أَمَّا دَاوُدُ فَمَكَثَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. 2 وَفِي إِحْدَى الأُمْسِيَاتِ نَهَضَ دَاوُدُ عَنْ سَرِيرِهِ وَأَخَذَ يَتَمَشَّى عَلَى سَطْحِ قَصْرِهِ، فَشَاهَدَ امْرَأَةً ذَاتَ جَمَالٍ أَخَّاذٍ تَسْتَحِمُّ. 3 فَأَرْسَلَ دَاوُدُ مَنْ يَتَحَرَّى عَنْهَا. فَأَبْلَغَهُ أَحَدُهُمْ: «هَذِهِ بَثْشَبَعُ بِنْتُ أَلِيعَامَ زَوْجَةُ أُورِيَّا الْحِثِّيِّ»، 4 فَبَعَثَ دَاوُدُ يَسْتَدْعِيهَا. فَأَقْبَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ وَضَاجَعَهَا إِذْ كَانَتْ قَدْ تَطَهَّرَتْ مِنْ طَمْثِهَا، ثُمَّ رَجَعَتْ إِلَى بَيْتِهَا. 5 وَحَمَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ فَأَرْسَلَتْ تُبَلِّغُ دَاوُدَ بِذَلِكَ. 6 فَوَجَّهَ دَاوُدُ إِلَى يُوآبَ قَائِلاً: «أَرْسِلْ إِلَيَّ أُورِيَّا الْحِثِّيَّ». فَبَعَثَ بِهِ يُوآبُ إِلَى دَاوُدَ. 7 وَحِينَ مَثَلَ لَدَى دَاوُدَ اسْتَفْسَرَ مِنْهُ عَنْ سَلامَةِ يُوآبَ وَالْجَيْشِ وَعَنْ أَنْبَاءِ الْحَرْبِ. 8 ثُمَّ قَالَ دَاوُدُ لأُورِيَّا: «امْضِ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ وَاغْسِلْ رِجْلَيْكَ». فَخَرَجَ أُورِيَّا مِنْ بَيْتِ الْمَلِكِ، وَأَرْسَلَ لَهُ هَدِيَّةً إِلَى بَيْتِهِ. 9 غَيْرَ أَنَّ أُورِيَّا لَمْ يَتَوَجَّهْ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ، بَلْ نَامَ مَعَ رِجَالِ الْمَلِكِ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْقَصْرِ. 10 فَأَخْبَرُوا دَاوُدَ قَائِلِينَ: «لَمْ يَتَوَجَّهْ أُورِيَّا إِلَى بَيْتِهِ». فَسَأَلَهُ دَاوُدُ: «أَلَمْ تَرْجِعْ مِنْ سَفَرٍ؟ فَلِمَاذَا لَمْ تَمْضِ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ؟» 11 فَأَجَابَ: «التَّابُوتُ وَجَيْشُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا مُعَسْكِرُونَ فِي الْخِيَامِ، وَكَذَلِكَ سَيِّدِي يُوآبُ، وَبَقِيَّةُ قُوَّادِ الْمَلِكِ مُخَيِّمُونَ فِي الْعَرَاءِ، فَهَلْ آتِي أَنَا إِلَى بَيْتِي لِآكُلَ وَأَشْرَبَ وَأُضَاجِعَ زَوْجَتِي؟ أُقْسِمُ بِحَيَاتِكَ، لَنْ أَفْعَلَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ». 12 فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لأُورِيَّا: «امْكُثْ هُنَا الْيَوْمَ وَغَداً أُطْلِقُكَ». فَمَكَثَ أُورِيَّا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ حَتَّى صَبَاحِ الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي. 13 وَلَبَّى دَعْوَةَ الْمَلِكِ، فَأَكَلَ فِي حَضْرَتِهِ وَشَرِبَ حَتَّى أَسْكَرَهُ دَاوُدُ. ثُمَّ خَرَجَ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ لِيَرْقُدَ فِي مَضْجَعِهِ إِلَى جِوَارِ رِجَالِ سَيِّدِهِ، وَلَمْ يَتَوَجَّهْ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ أَيْضاً. 14 وَفِي الصَّبَاحِ كَتَبَ دَاوُدُ رِسَالَةً إِلَى يُوآبَ، بَعَثَ بِها مَعَ أُورِيَّا، 15 جَاءَ فِيهَا: «اجْعَلُوا أُورِيَّا فِي الْخُطُوطِ الأُولَى حَيْثُ يَنْشُبُ الْقِتَالُ الشَّرِسُ، ثُمَّ تَرَاجَعُوا مِنْ وَرَائِهِ لِيَلْقَى حَتْفَهُ». 16 فَعَيَّنَ يُوآبُ أُورِيَّا فِي أَثْنَاءِ مُحَاصَرَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فِي أَشَدِّ جَبْهَاتِ الْقِتَالِ ضَرَاوَةً، حَيْثُ احْتَشَدَ أَبْطَالُ الأَعْدَاءِ. 17 فَانْدَفَعَ رِجَالُ الْمَدِينَةِ لِمُحَارَبَةِ يُوآبَ فَمَاتَ بَعْضُ رِجَالِ دَاوُدَ وَمِنْهُمْ أُورِيَّا الْحِثِّيُّ. 18 فَبَعَثَ يُوآبُ رَسُولاً لِيُطْلِعَ دَاوُدَ عَلَى أَنْبَاءِ الْحَرْبِ، 19 وَأَوْصَاهُ قَائِلاً: «إِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنَّ الْمَلِكَ بَعْدَ إِبْلاغِهِ أَنْبَاءَ الْحَرْبِ 20 قَدْ ثَارَ غَضَبُهُ وَقَالَ لَكَ: لِمَاذَا اقْتَرَبْتُمْ مِنْ سُورِ الْمَدِينَةِ لِلْقِتَالِ؟ أَمَا عَلِمْتُمْ أَنَّهُمْ يَرْمُونَ بِالسِّهَامِ مِنْ فَوْقِ السُّورِ؟ 21 مَنْ صَرَعَ أَبِيمَالِكَ بْنَ يَرُبُّوشَثَ؟ أَلَمْ تَرْمِهِ امْرَأَةٌ بِحَجَرِ رَحىً مِنْ عَلَى السُّورِ فَمَاتَ فِي تَابَاصَ؟ لِمَاذَا اقْتَرَبْتُمْ مِنَ السُّورِ؟ فَقُلْ لَهُ: قَدْ مَاتَ عَبْدُكَ أُورِيَّا الْحِثِّيُّ أَيْضاً». 22 فَانْطَلَقَ الرَّسُولُ إِلَى دَاوُدَ وَأَطْلَعَهُ عَلَى آخِر أَنْبَاءِ الْحَرَبِ الَّتِي كَلَّفَهُ بِها يُوآبُ. 23 وَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ قَوِيَ عَلَيْنَا الْقَوْمُ وَخَرَجُوا لِقِتَالِنَا فِي الْعَرَاءِ، وَلَكِنَّنَا انْكَفَأْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ وَطَارَدْنَاهُمْ حَتَّى بَوَابَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ. 24 فَرَمَى الرُّمَاةُ عَلَى عَبِيدِكَ بِالسِّهَامِ، فَقُتِلَ بَعْضُ ضُبَّاطِ الْمَلِكِ، وَمَاتَ عَبْدُكَ أُورِيَّا الْحِثِّيُّ». 25 فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لِلرَّسُولِ: «هَذَا مَا تُخْبِرُ بِهِ يُوآبَ: لَا يَسُوءَنَّكَ هَذَا الأَمْرُ، فَإِنَّ السَّيْفَ يَلْتَهِمُ هَذَا وَذَاكَ. شَدِّدْ حِصَارَكَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَدَمِّرْهَا. قُلْ هَذَا لِتَشْجِيعِ يُوآبَ». 26 وَعِنْدَمَا عَلِمَتْ زَوْجَةُ أُورِيَّا أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا قَدْ قُتِلَ نَاحَتْ عَلَيْهِ. 27 وَحِينَ انْقَضَتْ فَتْرَةُ الْحِدَادِ، أَرْسَلَ دَاوُدُ وَأَحْضَرَهَا إِلَى الْقَصْرِ وَتَزَوَّجَهَا وَوَلَدَتِ ابْناً وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ اسْتَاءَ مِنْ هَذَا الأَمْرِ الَّذِي ارْتَكَبَهُ دَاوُدُ.

David and Bathsheba

1 In the spring of the year, the time when kings go out to battle, David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel. And they ravaged the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem. (تث 3:11; 2صم 12:26; 1مل 20:22; 1مل 20:26; 1أخ 20:1; 2أخ 36:10)

تث 3:112صم 12:261مل 20:221مل 20:261أخ 20:12أخ 36:10

2 It happened, late one afternoon, when David arose from his couch and was walking on the roof of the king’s house, that he saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful. (1صم 9:25) 3 And David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, “Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?” (2صم 23:39; 1أخ 3:5) 4 So David sent messengers and took her, and she came to him, and he lay with her. (Now she had been purifying herself from her uncleanness.) Then she returned to her house. (لا 15:19; لا 15:28; لا 18:19) 5 And the woman conceived, and she sent and told David, “I am pregnant.” 6 So David sent word to Joab, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” And Joab sent Uriah to David. 7 When Uriah came to him, David asked how Joab was doing and how the people were doing and how the war was going. 8 Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” And Uriah went out of the king’s house, and there followed him a present from the king. (تك 18:4) 9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house. 10 When they told David, “Uriah did not go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “Have you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?” 11 Uriah said to David, “The ark and Israel and Judah dwell in booths, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are camping in the open field. Shall I then go to my house, to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? As you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing.” (1صم 1:26; 2صم 7:2; 2صم 7:6; 2صم 20:6; 1مل 1:33)

1صم 1:262صم 7:22صم 7:62صم 20:61مل 1:33

12 Then David said to Uriah, “Remain here today also, and tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next. 13 And David invited him, and he ate in his presence and drank, so that he made him drunk. And in the evening he went out to lie on his couch with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house. (تك 19:33; تك 19:35; 2صم 11:11) 14 In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah. (1مل 21:8) 15 In the letter he wrote, “Set Uriah in the forefront of the hardest fighting, and then draw back from him, that he may be struck down, and die.” (2صم 12:9) 16 And as Joab was besieging the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew there were valiant men. 17 And the men of the city came out and fought with Joab, and some of the servants of David among the people fell. Uriah the Hittite also died. 18 Then Joab sent and told David all the news about the fighting. 19 And he instructed the messenger, “When you have finished telling all the news about the fighting to the king, 20 then, if the king’s anger rises, and if he says to you, ‘Why did you go so near the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall? 21 Who killed Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Did not a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?’ then you shall say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.’” (قض 9:53) 22 So the messenger went and came and told David all that Joab had sent him to tell. 23 The messenger said to David, “The men gained an advantage over us and came out against us in the field, but we drove them back to the entrance of the gate. 24 Then the archers shot at your servants from the wall. Some of the king’s servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.” 25 David said to the messenger, “Thus shall you say to Joab, ‘Do not let this matter displease you, for the sword devours now one and now another. Strengthen your attack against the city and overthrow it.’ And encourage him.” 26 When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she lamented over her husband. 27 And when the mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the Lord. (2صم 12:9)
