2 Samuel 11:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ The next morning David wrote a letter to Joab. He sent it along with Uriah. ¹⁵ In it he wrote, “Put Uriah out in front. That’s where the fighting is the heaviest. Then pull your men back from him. When you do, the Ammonites will strike him down and kill him.”

¹⁶ So Joab attacked the city. He put Uriah at a place where he knew the strongest enemy fighters were.
