    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 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 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 did you not go down to your house?

    11Uriah said to 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 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 abode in Jerusalem that day, and the next day.

    13When David had called him, he ate and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even 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, Set Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire you 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: 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 you have made an end of telling all the things concerning the war to the king,

    20it shall be that, if the king's wrath arise, and he tells you, 'Why did you go so near to the city to fight? Didn't you know that they would shoot from the wall?

    21who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Didn't a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?' then shall you say, 'Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.'"

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

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