2 Samuel 11:15-17

New Century Version

¹⁵ In the letter David wrote, “Put Uriah on the front lines where the fighting is worst and leave him there alone. Let him be killed in battle.”

¹⁶ Joab watched the city and saw where its strongest defenders were and put Uriah there. ¹⁷ When the men of the city came out to fight against Joab, some of David’s men were killed. And Uriah the Hittite was one of them.
