    5And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, I am with child.

    6And David sent to Joab, [saying], Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.

    7And when Uriah was come unto him, David asked of him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.

    8And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess [of food] from the king.

    9But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.

    10And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Art thou not come from a journey? wherefore didst thou not go down unto thy house?

    11And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in booths; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open field; shall I then go into my 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.

    12And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to-day also, and to-morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.

    14And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.

    15And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.

    16And it came to pass, when Joab kept watch upon the city, that he assigned Uriah unto the place where he knew that valiant men were.

    17And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.

    18Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;

    19and he charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling all the things concerning the war unto the king,

    20it shall be that, if the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore went ye so nigh unto the city to fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?

    21who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast an upper millstone upon him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? why went ye so nigh the wall? then shalt thou say, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
