2 Samuel 11:14-16

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁴ In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah. ¹⁵ In the letter he wrote, “Put Uriah on the front line where the fighting is heaviest. Then abandon him so that he’ll be struck down and die.”

¹⁶ Since Joab had kept the city under observation, he put Uriah at the place where he knew the experienced warriors were.
