2 Samuel 11:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ In it he wrote, “Put Uriah out in front. That’s where the fighting is the heaviest. Then pull your men back from him. When you do, the Ammonites will strike him down and kill him.”

¹⁶ So Joab attacked the city. He put Uriah at a place where he knew the strongest enemy fighters were. ¹⁷ The troops came out of the city. They fought against Joab. Some of the men in David’s army were killed. Uriah, the Hittite, also died.
