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

    7When Uriah had come to him, David asked how Joab was doing, and how the people were doing, and how the war prospered.

    8And David said to Uriah, Go down to your house and wash your feet. So Uriah departed from the king's house, and a gift of food from the king followed him.

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

    10When they told David, saying, Uriah did not go down to his house, David said to Uriah, Did you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?

    11And Uriah said to David, The ark and Israel and Judah are dwelling in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are encamped in the open fields. Shall I then go to my house to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? As you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing.

    12Then David said to Uriah, Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart. So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next.

    13Now when David called him, he ate and drank before him, and he made him drunk. And at evening he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.

    14In the morning it happened that David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah.

    15And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set Uriah in the forefront of the fiercest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck down and die.

    16So it happened, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah to a place where he knew there were valiant men.

    20if it so happens that the king's wrath rises, and he says to you, Why did you approach so near to the city when you fought? Did you not know they would shoot from the wall?

    21Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Was it not a woman who cast a piece of a millstone on him from the wall, so that he died in Thebez? Why did you go near the wall? Then you shall say, Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.

    22So the messenger went, and came and told David all that Joab had sent by him.

    23And the messenger said to David, Surely the men prevailed against us and came out to us in the field, and we drove them back as far as the entrance of the gate.

    24The archers shot from the wall at your servants, and some of the king's servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.

    25Then David said to the messenger, Thus you shall say to Joab: Do not let this thing trouble you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Strengthen your attack against the city, and overthrow it. So encourage him.

    26When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.

    27And when her mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
