³ And David sent to get knowledge who the woman was. And one said, Is this not Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam and wife of Uriah the Hittite?

³⁹ Uriah the Hittite: thirty-seven in number.

⁵ And in Jerusalem he had four sons, Shimea and Shobab and Nathan and Solomon, by Bath-shua, the daughter of Ammiel;

⁸ They were full of desire, like horses after a meal of grain: everyone went after his neighbour's wife.

⁴¹ Uriah the Hittite, Zabad, the son of Ahlai,

⁶ For they have made their hearts ready like an oven, while they are waiting secretly; their wrath is sleeping all night; in the morning it is burning like a flaming fire.

⁷ They are all heated like an oven, and they put an end to their judges; all their kings have been made low; not one among them makes prayer to me.

¹⁴ But every man is tested when he is turned out of the right way by the attraction of his desire.

¹⁵ Then when its time comes, desire gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is of full growth, gives birth to death.
