2 Samuel 11:6-13

6Then David sent word to Joab: “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” So Joab sent Uriah to David. 7When Uriah came to him, 1David asked about Joab’s well-being and 2that of the people, and the condition of the war. 8Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house, and 3wash your feet.” So Uriah left the king’s house, and a gift from the king 4was sent after him. 9But Uriah slept 5at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house. 10Now when they informed David, saying, “Uriah did not go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “Did you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?” 11And Uriah said to David, “6The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in 7temporary shelters, and my lord Joab and 8the servants of my lord are camping in the open field. Should I then go to my house to eat and drink and to sleep with my wife? By your life and the life of your soul, I will not do this thing.” 12Then David said to Uriah, “9Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you go back.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the day after. 13Now David summoned 10Uriah, and he ate and drank in his presence, and he 11made 12Uriah drunk; and in the evening Uriah went out to lie on his bed 13with his lord’s servants, and he still did not go down to his house.
