MLV(i)
8 And David said to Uriah, Go down to your house and wash your feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house and a gift from the king followed him.
9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord and did not go down to his house. 10 And when they had told David, saying, Uriah did not go down to his house, David said to Uriah, Have you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?
11 And Uriah said to David, The ark and Israel and Judah, abide in booths and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open field. Shall I then go into my house, to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? As you live and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing.
12 And David said to Uriah, Remain here today also and tomorrow I will let you depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day and the morrow. 13 And when David had called him, he ate and drank before him and he made him drunk. And at evening he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but did not go down to his house.
14 And it happened in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle and retreat from him, that he may be struck and die.
