*
And David sent to Joab Yow #
ab #,
saying ,
Send me Uriah the Hittite .
And Joab sent Uriah to David .
*
And when Uriah was come unto him ,
David demanded of him how Joab did ,
and how the people did ,
and how the war prospered .
*
And David said to Uriah ,
Go down to thy house ,
and wash thy feet .
And Uriah departed out of the kings house ,
and there followed him a mess of meat from the king .
*
But Uriah slept at the door of the kings house with all the servants of his lord ,
and went not down to his house .
*
And when they had told David ,
saying ,
Uriah went not down unto his house ,
David said unto Uriah ,
Camest thou not from thy journey ?
why then didst thou not go down unto thine house ?
*
And Uriah said unto David ,
The ark ,
and Israel Yisra #
el #,
and Judah ,
abide in tents ;
and my lord Joab Yow #
ab #,
and the servants of my lord ,
are encamped in the open fields ;
shall I then go into mine house ,
to eat and to drink ,
and to lie with my wife ?
as thou livest ,
and as thy soul liveth ,
I will not do this thing .
*
And David said to Uriah ,
Tarry here to day also ,
and to morrow I will let thee depart .
So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day ,
and the morrow .
*
And when David had called him ,
he did eat 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 went not down to his house .
*
And it came to pass in the morning ,
that David wrote a letter to Joab Yow #
ab #,
and sent it by the hand of Uriah .
*
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 .
