2 Samuel 11:9-11

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

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 When they told David, 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 live in tents, 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 drink and lie with my wife? As you live and as my soul lives, I will not do this thing.
