2 Samuel 11:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ When Uriah came to him, David asked him how Joab was, how the soldiers were, and how the war was going. ⁸ Then David said to Uriah, “Go home and ·rest [^Lwash your feet; ^Cperhaps a euphemism for sex].”

So Uriah left the ·palace [^Lking’s house], and the king sent a gift to him. ⁹ But Uriah did not go home. Instead, he slept outside the door of the palace as all the king’s ·officers [guard; ^Lservants] did.
