— 2 Samuel 11:17, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.”
“And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also. ”
“The men of the city went out, and fought with Joab. Some of the people fell, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.”
“When the men of the city came out and fought with Joab, some of David’s soldiers fell in battle. Uriah the Hittite also died.”
“And the men coming out of the city, fought against Joab, and there fell some of the people of the servants of David, and Urias the Hethite was killed also.”
“And the men of the town went out and had a fight with Joab: and a number of David's men came to their death in the fight, and with them Uriah the Hittite.”
“And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.”
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.
And so, Joab sent and reported to David every word about the battle.
And he instructed the messenger, saying: “When you have completed all the words about the war to the king,
if you see him to be angry, and if he says: ‘Why did you draw near to the wall in order to fight? Are you ignorant that many darts are thrown from above the wall?
