2 Samuel 11:8-15

8 Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and ^awash your feet.” And Uriah went out of the king’s house, and there followed him a present from the king. 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, ^b“The ark and Israel and Judah dwell in booths, and my lord Joab and ^cthe 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 ^das your soul lives, I will not do this thing.” 12 Then 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. 13 And David invited him, and he ate in his presence and drank, ^eso that he made him drunk. And in the evening he went out to lie on his couch with ^fthe servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.

14 In the morning David ^gwrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 15 In the letter he wrote, “Set Uriah in the forefront of the hardest fighting, and then draw back from him, ^hthat he may be struck down, and die.”

Psalms 12:2

2 Everyone ⁱutters lies to his neighbor;
with ^jflattering lips and ^ka double heart they speak.

Psalms 55:21

21 His ^lspeech was ^msmooth as butter,
yet war was in his heart;
his words were softer than oil,
yet they were ⁿdrawn swords.

Jeremiah 41:6-7

6 And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah came out from ^oMizpah to meet them, weeping as he came. As he met them, he said to them, “Come in to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.” 7 When they came into the city, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and the men with him slaughtered them and cast them into a cistern.
