2 Samuel 11:16-18

Contemporary English Version

¹⁶ Joab had been carefully watching the city of Rabbah, and he put Uriah in a place where he knew there were some of the enemy's best soldiers. ¹⁷ When the men of the city came out, they fought and killed some of David's soldiers—Uriah the Hittite was one of them.

¹⁸ Joab sent a messenger to tell David everything that was happening in the war.
