2 Samuel 11:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ And when the morning was come, David wrote a letter to Joab: and sent it by the hand of Urias,

¹⁵ Writing in the letter: Set ye Urias in the front of the battle, where the fight is strongest: and leave ye him, that he may be wounded and die.

¹⁶ Wherefore as Joab was besieging the city, he put Urias in the place where he knew the bravest men were.
