14And it cometh to pass in the morning, that David writeth a letter unto Joab, and sendeth by the hand of Uriah;
15and he writeth in the letter, saying, `Place ye Uriah over-against the front of the severest battle, and ye have turned back from after him, and he hath been smitten, and hath died.`
16And it cometh to pass in Joab`s watching of the city, that he appointeth Uriah unto the place where he knew that valiant men [are];
17and the men of the city go out and fight with Joab, and there fall [some] of the people, of the servants of David; and there dieth also Uriah the Hittite.
18And Joab sendeth and declareth to David all the matters of the war,
19and commandeth the messenger, saying, `At thy finishing all the matters of the war to speak unto the king,
20then, it hath been, if the king`s fury ascend, and he hath said to thee, Wherefore did ye draw nigh unto the city to fight? did ye not know that they shoot from off the wall?
