2 Samuel 11:9-11

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁹ But Uriah slept ^(A)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, “^(B)The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in ^[a]temporary shelters, and my lord Joab and ^(C)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.”
