Context of 2 Samuel 11:18
16And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah to a place where he knew that valiant men were . 17And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
