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

    7When Uriah was come to him, David asked of him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.

    8David said to Uriah, "Go down to your house, and wash your feet." Uriah departed out of the king's house, and a gift from the king was sent after him.

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

    10When they had told David, saying, "Uriah didn't go down to his house," David said to Uriah, "Haven't you come from a journey? Why didn't you go down to your house?"

    11Uriah said to David, "The ark, Israel, and Judah, are staying in tents; 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 you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing!"

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

    13When David had called him, he ate and drink before him; and he made him drunk. At evening, he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but didn't go down to his house.

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

    15He wrote in the letter, saying, "Send Uriah to the forefront of the hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck, and die."

    16It happened, when Joab kept watch on the city, that he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.

    17The men of the city went out, and fought with Joab. Some of the people fell, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
