¹⁴ Now in the morning, David gave Uriah a letter to take to Joab. ¹⁵ And in the letter he said, Take care to put Uriah in the very front of the line, where the fighting is most violent, and go back from him, so that he may be overcome and put to death. ¹⁶ So while Joab was watching the town, he put Uriah in the place where it was clear to him the best fighters were. ¹⁷ And the men of the town went out and had a fight with Joab: and a number of David's men came to their death in the fight, and with them Uriah the Hittite.
