2 Samuel 11:11

David Commits Adultery With Bathsheba

¹⁰ And when word was given to David that Uriah had not gone 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 And Uriah said to David, Israel and Judah with the ark are living in tents, and my lord Joab and the other servants of my lord are sleeping in the open field; and am I to go to my house and take food and drink, and go to bed with my wife? By the living Lord, and by the life of your soul, I will not do such a thing. ¹² And David said to Uriah, Be here today, and after that I will let you go. So Uriah was in Jerusalem that day and the day after.
