2 Samuel 11:8-13
8ThenH1732 he saidH559 to UriahH223, “Go downH3381 to your houseH1004 and washH7364 your feetH7272.”
So UriahH223 leftH3318 the palaceH1004H4428, and a giftH4864 from the kingH4428 followedH3318 himH310. 9But UriahH223 sleptH7901 at the doorH6607 of the palaceH1004H4428 withH854 allH3605 his master’sH113 servantsH5650; he did notH3808 go downH3381 toH413 his houseH1004.
10And DavidH1732 was toldH5046, “UriahH223H413 did notH3808 goH3381 homeH1004.”
“Haven’t youH3808H859 just arrivedH935 from a journeyH1870?” DavidH1732 askedH559 UriahH223. “WhyH4069 didn’t youH3808 goH3381H413 homeH1004?”
11UriahH223 answeredH559, “The arkH727 and IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063 are dwellingH3427 in tentsH5521,1 and my masterH113 JoabH3097 and hisH113 soldiersH5650 are campedH2583 inH5921 the open fieldH6440H7704. How can IH589 goH935 toH413 my houseH1004 to eatH398 and drinkH8354 and sleepH7901 withH5973 my wifeH802? As surely as you liveH2416, and as your soulH5315 livesH2416, I will notH518 doH6213 such a thingH1697H2088!”
12“StayH3427 hereH2088 one more dayH3117H1571,” DavidH1732 saidH559 toH413 UriahH223, “and tomorrowH4279 I will send you backH7971.” So UriahH223 stayedH3427 in JerusalemH3389 thatH1931 dayH3117 and the nextH4283.
13Then DavidH1732 invitedH7121 Uriah to eatH398 and drinkH8354 with himH6440, and he got Uriah drunkH7937. And in the eveningH6153 Uriah went outH3318 to lie downH7901 on his cotH4904 withH5973 his master’sH113H413 servantsH5650, but he did notH3808 goH3381 homeH1004.
