14 Therefore, when morning arrived, David wrote a letter to Joab. And he sent it by the hand of Uriah,
15 writing in the letter: 'Place Uriah opposite the warfare, where the battle is the strongest, and then abandon him, so that, having been wounded, he may die.'
16 And so, when Joab was besieging the city, he positioned Uriah in the place where he knew the strongest men to be.
17 And the men, departing from the city, made war against Joab. And some of the people among the servants of David fell, and Uriah the Hittite also died.
18 And so, Joab sent and reported to David every word about the battle.
