2 Samuel 11:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵ In the message, he wrote: “Assign Uriah to the most difficult fighting at the battle front, and then withdraw from him so that he will be struck down and killed.” ¹⁶ So as Joab began to attack the city, he assigned Uriah to a place where he knew valiant men would be stationed.^{[a] 17} When the men of the city came out to fight Joab, some of David’s army staff members fell, and Uriah the Hittite died, too.
