2 Samuel 11:8-10

International Standard Version

⁸ Then David told Uriah, “Go on down to your house and relax a while.”^[a] So Uriah left the king’s palace, and the king sent a gift along after him. ⁹ But Uriah spent the night sleeping in the alcove of the king’s palace in the company of all his master’s staff members. He refused to go down to his own home.

¹⁰ When David was told that Uriah hadn’t gone home the previous night,^[b] he quizzed him,^[c] “You just arrived from a long journey, so why didn’t you go down to your own house?”
