2 Samuel 11:13-15

New International Reader's Version

¹³ David invited Uriah to eat and drink with him. David got him drunk. But Uriah still didn’t go home. In the evening he went out and slept on his mat. He stayed there among his master’s servants.

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.”
