ISV(i)
15 In the message, he wrote: “Assign Uriah to the most difficult fighting at the battle front, and then withdraw from him so that he will be struck down and killed.”
16 So as Joab began to attack the city, he assigned Uriah to a place where he knew valiant men would be stationed.
17 When the men of the city came out to fight Joab, some of David’s army staff members fell, and Uriah the Hittite died, too.
