2 Samuel 11:10-17

10When 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?” 11Uriah said to David, a“The ark and Israel and Judah dwell in booths, and my lord Joab and bthe 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? As you live, and cas your soul lives, I will not do this thing.” 12Then David said to Uriah, “Remain here today also, and tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next. 13And David invited him, and he ate in his presence and drank, dso that he made him drunk. And in the evening he went out to lie on his couch with ethe servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.

14In the morning David fwrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 15In the letter he wrote, “Set Uriah in the forefront of the hardest fighting, and then draw back from him, gthat he may be struck down, and die.” 16And as Joab was besieging the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew there were valiant men. 17And the men of the city came out and fought with Joab, and some of the servants of David among the people fell. Uriah the Hittite also died.

2 Samuel 11:25

25David said to the messenger, “Thus shall you say to Joab, ‘Do not let this matter displease you, for the sword devours now one and now another. Strengthen your attack against the city and overthrow it.’ And encourage him.”

2 Samuel 14:14

14We must all die; we are hlike water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. But God will not take away life, and he devises means iso that the banished one will not remain an outcast.

Isaiah 57:17-18

17Because of the iniquity of his junjust gain I was angry,
I struck him; I hid my face and was angry,
but he went on backsliding in the way of his own heart.
18I have seen his ways, kbut I will heal him;
I will lead him land restore comfort to him and his mourners,
