2 Samuel 11:10-12

New American Standard Bible

¹⁰ Now when they informed David, saying, “Uriah did not go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “Did you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?” ¹¹ And Uriah said to David, “^(A)The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in ^[a]temporary shelters, and my lord Joab and ^(B)the servants of my lord are camping in the open field. Should I then go to my house to eat and drink and to sleep with my wife? By your life and the life of your soul, I will not do this thing.” ¹² Then David said to Uriah, “^(C)Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you go back.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the day after.
