8 And David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” And Uriah departed from the house of the king. And went out after him a gift from the king. 9 And Uriah slept at the door of the house of the king with all the servants of his lord, and he did not go down to his house. 10 And they declared to David, saying, “Uriah did not go down to his house.” And David said to Uriah, “Is it not that you have come from a journey? Why did not you go down to your house?” 11 And Uriah said to David, “The ark and Israel and Judah are dwelling in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are encamped on the face of the field, and I shall go to my house to eat and drink and to lie with my wife? As you live, and as lives your soul, I will not do this thing.” 12 And David said to Uriah, “Wait in this place also today, and tomorrow I will let you depart.” And Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next. 13 And David called to him, and he ate before his face and drank, and he made him drunk. And he went out at the evening to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord; and to his house he did not go down. 2 Samuel 11:8-13, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
