2 Samuel 11:12-14

Good News Translation

¹² So David said, “Then stay here the rest of the day, and tomorrow I'll send you back.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and the next. ¹³ David invited him to supper and got him drunk. But again that night Uriah did not go home; instead he slept on his blanket^[a] in the palace guardroom.

¹⁴ The next morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by Uriah.
