2 Samuel 11:9-11

Revised Geneva Translation

⁹ But, Uriah slept at the door of the king’s palace with all the servants of his lord and did not go down to his house.

¹⁰ Then they told David, saying, “Uriah did not go down to his house.” And David said to Uriah, “Do you not come from your journey? Why did you not go down to your house?”

¹¹ Then Uriah answered David, “The Ark and Israel and Judah dwell in tents. And my lord Joab and the servants of my lord remain in the open fields. Shall I then go into my house to eat and drink and lie with my wife? By your life, and by the life of your soul, I will not do this thing.”
