*
And he wrote in the letter ,
saying ,
Set ye Uriah in the forefront paniym #
of the hottest battle ,
and retire ye from him ,
that he may be smitten ,
and die .
*
And it came to pass ,
when Joab observed the city ,
that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were .
*
And the men of the city went out ,
and fought with Joab Yow #
ab #:
and there fell some of the people of the servants of David ;
and Uriah the Hittite died also .
*
Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war ;
*
And charged the messenger mal #
ak #,
saying ,
When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king ,
*
And if so be that the kings wrath arise ,
and he say unto thee ,
Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight ?
knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall ?
*
Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth ?
did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall ,
that he died in Thebez ?
why went ye nigh the wall ?
then say thou ,
Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also .
*
So the messenger went ,
and came and shewed David all that Joab had sent him for .
*
And the messenger said unto David ,
Surely the men prevailed against us ,
and came out unto us into the field ,
and we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate sha #
ar #.
*
And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants ;
and some of the kings servants be dead ,
and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also .
*
Then David said unto the messenger mal #
ak #,
Thus shalt thou say unto Joab Yow #
ab #,
Let not this thing displease thee ,
for the sword devoureth one as well as another :
make thy battle more strong against the city ,
and overthrow it :
and encourage thou him .
*
And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead ,
she mourned for her husband ba #
al #.

And when the mourning was past ,
David sent and fetched her to his house ,
and she became his wife ,
and bare him a son .
But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD .
