2 Samuel 11:11-13

Living Bible

¹¹ Uriah replied, “The Ark and the armies and the general and his officers are camping out in open fields, and should I go home to wine and dine and sleep with my wife? I swear that I will never be guilty of acting like that.”

¹² “Well, stay here tonight,” David told him, “and tomorrow you may return to the army.”

So Uriah stayed around the palace. ¹³ David invited him to dinner and got him drunk; but even so he didn’t go home that night, but again he slept at the entry to the palace.
