    5The woman conceived and sent a message to David, saying, 'I am pregnant.'

    6So David sent word to Joab, 'Send me Uriah the Hittite,' and Joab sent Uriah to David.

    7When Uriah came to him, David asked about Joab’s well-being, the well-being of the troops, and the condition of the war.

    8Then David said to Uriah, 'Go down to your house and wash your feet.' So Uriah left the king’s house, and a gift from the king was sent after him.

    9But Uriah slept at the entrance of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord and did not go down to his house.

    10When they told David, 'Uriah did not go down to his house,' David said to Uriah, 'Haven’t you just come from a journey? Why didn’t you go home?'

    11Uriah said to David, 'The Ark, Israel, and Judah are staying in tents, and my lord Joab and the king’s servants are camped in the open field. How can I go to my house to eat and drink and lie with my wife? As surely as you live and as your soul lives, I will not do such a thing!'

    12Then David said to Uriah, 'Stay here one more day, and tomorrow I will send you back.' So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and the next.

    13David invited Uriah to eat and drink with him, and David made him drunk. In the evening, Uriah went out to lie on his mat among his master's servants but did not go home.

    14The next morning, David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah.

    15In the letter, David wrote, 'Put Uriah at the front where the fighting is fiercest. Then withdraw from him so he will be struck down and killed.'

    16As Joab kept watch over the city, he positioned Uriah at a place where he knew the strongest defenders were.

    17When the men of the city came out and fought against Joab, some of David’s men fell in battle, and Uriah the Hittite also died.
