2 Samuel 11:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ And David called him to eat and to drink before him, and he made him drunk: and he went out in the evening, and slept on his couch with the servants of his lord, and went not down into his house.

¹⁴ And when the morning was come, David wrote a letter to Joab: and sent it by the hand of Urias,

¹⁵ Writing in the letter: Set ye Urias in the front of the battle, where the fight is strongest: and leave ye him, that he may be wounded and die.
