2 Samuel 11:14-17

14So the next morning David wrote a letter to Joab and gave it to Uriah to deliver.

15The letter instructed Joab, “Station Uriah on the front lines where the battle is fiercest. Then pull back so that he will be killed.”

16So Joab assigned Uriah to a spot close to the city wall where he knew the enemy’s strongest men were fighting.

17And when the enemy soldiers came out of the city to fight, Uriah the Hittite was killed along with several other Israelite soldiers.
