2 Samuel 11:14-16

World English Bible

¹⁴ In the morning, David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah. ¹⁵ He wrote in the letter, saying, “Send Uriah to the forefront of the hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck, and die.”

¹⁶ When Joab kept watch on the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.
