2 Samuel 11:15

In the letter he wrote , Set Uriah in the forefront of the hardest fighting , and then draw back from him , that he may be struck down , and die .

In it he wrote, “Put Uriah out in front where the fighting is fiercest. Then withdraw from him so he will be struck down and die.”

And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.
