2 Samuel 11:15-21 And he wrote thus in the letter, Put ye Vriah in the forefront of the strength of the battell, and recule ye backe from him, that he may be smitten, and die.

Geneva⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And he wrote thus in the letter, Put ye Vriah in the forefront of the strength of the battell, and recule ye backe from him, that he may be smitten, and die. ¹⁶ So when Ioab besieged the citie, he assigned Vriah vnto a place, where he knewe that strong men were. ¹⁷ And the men of the citie came out, and fought with Ioab: and there fell of the people of the seruants of Dauid, and Vriah the Hittite also dyed. ¹⁸ Then Ioab sent and tolde Dauid all the things concerning the warre, ¹⁹ And he charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an ende of telling all the matters of the warre vnto the King, ²⁰ And if the kings anger arise, so that he say vnto thee, Wherefore approched ye vnto the citie to fight? knewe ye not that they would hurle from the wall? ²¹ Who smote Abimelech sonne of Ierubesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a milstone vpon him from the wall, and he died in Thebez? why went you nie the wall? Then say thou, Thy seruant Vriah the Hittite is also dead.
