2 Samuel 11:14-21

14And it came to pass in the morningH1242, that DavidH1732 wroteH3789 a letterH5612 to JoabH3097, and sentH7971 it by Urijah.

15And he wroteH3789 in the letterH5612 sayingH559, Set Urijah in the front of the thickest fight, and withdraw from him, that he may be smitten and dieH4191.

16And it came to pass as JoabH3097 watchedH8104 the cityH5892, that he assigned Urijah to a placeH4725 whereH834 he knewH3045 that the valiant menH376 were.

17And the menH376 of the cityH5892 wentH3318 out and foughtH3898 with JoabH3097; and there fellH5307 some of the peopleH5971, of the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732; and Urijah the HittiteH2850 diedH4191 alsoH1571.

18Then JoabH3097 sentH7971 and toldH5046 DavidH1732 all the mattersH1697 of the warH4421;

19and charged the messengerH4397, sayingH559, When thou hast endedH3615 telling the mattersH1697 of the warH4421 to the kingH4428,

20and if so beH1961 that the king's wrathH2534 arise, and he sayH559 to thee, WhyH4069 did ye goH5927 so near to the cityH5892 to fightH3898? did ye not knowH3045 that they would shootH3384 from the wallH2346?

21Who smote AbimelechH40 the sonH1121 of Jerubbesheth? did not a womanH802 castH7993 the upperH7393 stone of a handmill from the wallH2346, that he diedH4191 in ThebezH8405? whyH4100 did ye go near the wallH2346? — then sayH559 thou, Thy servantH5650 Urijah the HittiteH2850 is deadH4191 alsoH1571.
