and Uriah the Hittite. Altogether there were thirty-seven.

Uriah the Hittite, Zabad son of Achli,

So David sent a message to Joab that said, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” So Joab sent Uriah to David.

When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband Uriah was dead, she mourned for him. ¹ 

Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your home and relax.” ¹  When Uriah left the palace, the king sent a gift to him. ² 

In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah.

Then I will summon ¹  as my reliable witnesses Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah.”

So they informed David, “Uriah has not gone down to his house.” So David said to Uriah, “Haven’t you just arrived from a journey? Why haven’t you gone down to your house?”

and Jesse the father of David the king. David was the father of Solomon (by the wife of Uriah ¹ ),

So David said to Uriah, “Stay here another day. Tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem both that day and the following one. ¹ 

So David sent someone to inquire about the woman. The messenger ¹  said, “Isn’t this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?”

But Uriah stayed at the door of the palace with all ¹  the servants of his lord. He did not go down to his house.

So as Joab kept watch on the city, he stationed Uriah at the place where he knew the best enemy soldiers ¹  were.

So Uriah the priest did exactly as ¹  King Ahaz ordered.

When Uriah came to him, David asked about how Joab and the army were doing and how the campaign was going. ¹ 

Then Nathan went to his home. The Lord struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and the child became very ill. ¹ 

After him Meremoth son of Uriah, the son of Hakkoz, worked on another section from the door of Eliashib’s house to the end of it. ¹ 

In the letter he wrote: “Station Uriah in the thick of the battle and then withdraw from him so he will be cut down and killed.”

When the men of the city came out and fought with Joab, some of David’s soldiers ¹  fell in battle. Uriah the Hittite also died.

So now the sword will never depart from your house. For you have despised me by taking the wife of Uriah the Hittite as your own!’
