* 11:12 And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. * 11:11 And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing. * 11:10 And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house? * 11:9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king. * 11:8 And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. * 11:7 And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered. * 11:6 And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. * 11:5 And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child. * 11:4 And David sent messengers, and took her and she came in unto him, and he lay with her for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite? * 11:3 And David sent and inquired after the woman. * 11:2 And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself and the woman was very beautiful to look upon. * 11:1 And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. Reading the story of David and Absalom will help the reader to understand some of Faulkner's plotting decisions and the title of the book. In writing Absalom, Absalom!, William Faulkner was inspired by many things-but one of his big inspirations was the biblical story of King David and his son Absalom in the second book of Samuel.
