2 Samuel 11:14-24

And it came to pass in the morning
<01242>_,
that David
<01732>
wrote
<03789> (8799)
a letter
<05612>
to Joab
<03097>_,
and sent
<07971> (8799)
[it] by the hand
<03027>
of Uriah
<0223>_.
And he wrote
<03789> (8799)
in the letter
<05612>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Set
<03051> (8798)
ye Uriah
<0223>
in the forefront
<06440> <04136>
of the hottest
<02389>
battle
<04421>_,
and retire
<07725> (8804)
ye from him
<0310>_,
that he may be smitten
<05221> (8738)_,
and die
<04191> (8804)_.
{hottest: Heb. strong} {from him: Heb. from after him}
And it came to pass, when Joab
<03097>
observed
<08104> (8800)
the city
<05892>_,
that he assigned
<05414> (8799)
Uriah
<0223>
unto a place
<04725>
where he knew
<03045> (8804)
that valiant
<02428>
men
<0582>
[were].
And the men
<0582>
of the city
<05892>
went out
<03318> (8799)_,
and fought
<03898> (8735)
with Joab
<03097>_:
and there fell
<05307> (8799)
[some] of the people
<05971>
of the servants
<05650>
of David
<01732>_;
and Uriah
<0223>
the Hittite
<02850>
died
<04191> (8799)
also.
Then Joab
<03097>
sent
<07971> (8799)
and told
<05046> (8686)
David
<01732>
all the things
<01697>
concerning the war
<04421>_;
And charged
<06680> (8762)
the messenger
<04397>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
When thou hast made an end
<03615> (8763)
of telling
<01696> (8763)
the matters
<01697>
of the war
<04421>
unto the king
<04428>_,
And if so be that the king's
<04428>
wrath
<02534>
arise
<05927> (8799)_,
and he say
<0559> (8804)
unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh
<05066> (8738)
unto the city
<05892>
when ye did fight
<03898> (8736)_?
knew
<03045> (8804)
ye not that they would shoot
<03384> (8686)
from the wall
<02346>_?
Who smote
<05221> (8689)
Abimelech
<040>
the son
<01121>
of Jerubbesheth
<03380>_?
did not a woman
<0802>
cast
<07993> (8689)
a piece
<06400>
of a millstone
<07393>
upon him from the wall
<02346>_,
that he died
<04191> (8799)
in Thebez
<08405>_?
why went ye nigh
<05066> (8738)
the wall
<02346>_?
then say
<0559> (8804)
thou, Thy servant
<05650>
Uriah
<0223>
the Hittite
<02850>
is dead
<04191> (8804)
also. {Jerubbesheth: also called, Jerubbaal}
So the messenger
<04397>
went
<03212> (8799)_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
and shewed
<05046> (8686)
David
<01732>
all that Joab
<03097>
had sent
<07971> (8804)
him for.
And the messenger
<04397>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto David
<01732>_,
Surely the men
<0582>
prevailed
<01396> (8804)
against us, and came out
<03318> (8799)
unto us into the field
<07704>_,
and we were upon them even unto the entering
<06607>
of the gate
<08179>_.
And the shooters
<03384> (8688)
shot
<03384> (8686)
from off the wall
<02346>
upon thy servants
<05650>_;
and [some] of the king's
<04428>
servants
<05650>
be dead
<04191> (8799)_,
and thy servant
<05650>
Uriah
<0223>
the Hittite
<02850>
is dead
<04191> (8804)
also.
