⁸ Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house, and ^(A)wash your feet.” So Uriah left the king’s house, and a gift from the king ^[a]was sent after him. ⁹ But Uriah slept ^(B)at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house. ¹⁰ Now when they informed David, saying, “Uriah did not go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “Did you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?”

¹³ Now David summoned ^[a]Uriah, and he ate and drank in his presence, and he ^(A)made ^[b]Uriah drunk; and in the evening Uriah went out to lie on his bed ^(B)with his lord’s servants, and he still did not go down to his house.
