2 Samuel 11:14-17

14In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah.

15In the letter he wrote, “Put Uriah on the front line where the fighting is heaviest. Then abandon him so that he’ll be struck down and die.”

16Since Joab had kept the city under observation, he put Uriah at the place where he knew the experienced warriors were.

17The men of the city came out and fought Joab. Some of the people, namely, some of David’s mercenaries, fell and died—including Uriah the Hittite.
