⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
This verse reveals that Bathsheba became pregnant from her encounter with King David and informed him of the pregnancy.
📚 Historical Context
This follows David's adultery with Bathsheba while her husband Uriah was away fighting in David's army. In ancient Israel, pregnancy outside of marriage or through adultery carried severe social and legal consequences. Bathsheba's message to David would have made clear that their sin now had unavoidable consequences that couldn't be hidden.
