And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made lamentation for her husband.

And Ish-bosheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from Paltiel the son of Laish.

And her husband went with her, weeping as he went, and followed her to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, Go, return, and he returned.

And the king said to her, What troubles thee? And she answered, Of a truth I am a widow, and my husband is dead.
