2 Samuel 11:14-16

Revised Geneva Translation

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

¹⁵ And he wrote this in the letter: “Put Uriah at the front of the fiercest battle, and retreat from him, so that he may be stricken and die.”

¹⁶ So when Joab besieged the city, he assigned Uriah to a place where he knew that strong men were.
