*
And he wrote in the letter ,
saying , "
Set Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle ,
and retreat from him ,
that he may be struck down and die ."
*
So it was ,
while Joab besieged the city ,
that he assigned Uriah to a place where he knew there were valiant men .
*
Then the men of the city came out and fought with Joab .
And some of the people of the servants of David fell ;
and Uriah the Hittite died also .
*
Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war ,
*
and charged the messenger ,
saying , "
When you have finished telling the matters of the war to the king ,
*
if it 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 that they would shoot from the wall ?
*
Who 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 ."'
