Uriah

“and Uriah the Hittite. There were thirty-seven in all.”

“Uriah the Hittite, Zabad son of Ahlai,”

“One evening David got up from his bed and strolled around on the roof of the palace. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing—a very beautiful woman.”

“For David had done what was right in the eyes of the LORD and had not turned aside from anything the LORD commanded all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.”

“At this, David sent orders to Joab: “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” So Joab sent him to David.”

“Uriah answered, “The ark and Israel and Judah are dwelling in tents, and my master Joab and his soldiers are camped in the open field. How can I go to my house to eat and drink and sleep with my wife? As surely as you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do such a thing!””

“The next morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah.”

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