"Therefore, when morning arrived, David wrote a letter to Joab. And he sent it by the hand of Uriah, "
— 2 Samuel 11:14, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.”
“And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah. ”
“It happened in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.”
“In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah.”
“And when the morning was come, David wrote a letter to Joab: and sent it by the hand of Urias,”
“Now in the morning, David gave Uriah a letter to take to Joab.”
“And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.”
And Uriah said to David: “The ark of God, and Israel and Judah, dwell in tents, and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, stay upon the face of the earth. And should I then go into my own house, so that I may eat and drink, and sleep with my wife? By your welfare and by the welfare of your soul, I will not do this thing.”
Therefore, David said to Uriah, “Even so, remain here today, and tomorrow I will send you away.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem, on that day and the next.
And David called him, so that he might eat and drink before him, and he made him inebriated. And departing in the evening, he slept on his bedding, with the servants of his lord, and he did not go down to his own house.
Therefore, when morning arrived, David wrote a letter to Joab. And he sent it by the hand of Uriah,
writing in the letter: “Place Uriah opposite the warfare, where the battle is the strongest, and then abandon him, so that, having been wounded, he may die.”
And so, when Joab was besieging the city, he positioned Uriah in the place where he knew the strongest men to be.
And the men, departing from the city, made war against Joab. And some of the people among the servants of David fell, and Uriah the Hittite also died.
