2 Samuel 11:12-14

Living Bible

¹² “Well, stay here tonight,” David told him, “and tomorrow you may return to the army.”

So Uriah stayed around the palace. ¹³ David invited him to dinner and got him drunk; but even so he didn’t go home that night, but again he slept at the entry to the palace.

¹⁴ Finally the next morning David wrote a letter to Joab and gave it to Uriah to deliver.
