When Uriah arrived, David asked him about Joab and the Israelite army. He asked Uriah about the war. 8Then David said to Uriah, ‘Now go to your house and rest for a time.’ So Uriah left the palace. Then King David sent a gift to him at home. 9But Uriah slept at the door of the palace, together with his master's servants. He did not go to his house.
