2 Samuel 11:8-10

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁸ “Go home,” David said to Uriah, “and wash your feet.” Uriah left the royal palace, and the king sent a present to him. ⁹ But Uriah slept at the entrance of the royal palace among his superior’s mercenaries. He didn’t go home.

¹⁰ When they told David, “Uriah didn’t go home,” David asked Uriah, “Didn’t you just come from a journey? Why didn’t you go home?”
