2 Samuel 11:14-16

New International Version - UK

¹⁴ In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah. ¹⁵ In it he wrote, ‘Put Uriah out in front where the fighting is fiercest. Then withdraw from him so that he will be struck down and die.’

¹⁶ So while Joab had the city under siege, he put Uriah at a place where he knew the strongest defenders were.
