2 Samuel 11:6-13

⁶ Then David sent to Joab , saying, "Send me Uriah the Hittite ." So Joab sent Uriah to David . ⁷ When Uriah came to him, David asked concerning the welfare of Joab and the people and the state of the war . ⁸ Then David said to Uriah , "Go down to your house , and wash your feet ." And Uriah went out of the king's house , and a present from the king was sent out after him. ⁹ But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord , and did not go down to his house . ¹⁰ Now when they told David , saying , "Uriah did not go down to his house ," David said to Uriah , "Have you not come from a journey ? Why did you not go down to your house ?" ¹¹ Uriah said to David , " The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in temporary shelters , and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are camping in the open field . Shall I then go to my house to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife ? By your life and the life of your soul , I will not do this thing ." ¹² Then David said to Uriah , " Stay here today also , and tomorrow I will let you go ." So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next . ¹³ Now David called him, and he ate and drank before him, and he made him drunk ; and in the evening he went out to lie on his bed with his lord's servants , but he did not go down to his house .
