14
It happened in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
15
He wrote in the letter, saying, Set you Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire you from him, that he may be struck, and die.
16
It happened, when Joab kept watch on the city, that he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.
17
The men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
