10:011:014 And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter
           to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.

10:011:015 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.

10:011:016 And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he
           assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men
           were.

10:011:017 And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab:  and
           there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and
           Uriah the Hittite died also.

10:011:018 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the
           war;

10:011:019 And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end
           of telling the matters of the war unto the king,

10:011:020 And if so be that the king’s wrath arise, and he say unto
           thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye
           did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?

10:011:021 Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman
           cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he
           died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy
           servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.

10:011:022 So the messenger went, and came and shewed David all that Joab
           had sent him for.

10:011:023 And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men prevailed
           against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were
           upon them even unto the entering of the gate.

10:011:024 And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants; and
           some of the king’s servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah the
           Hittite is dead also.

10:011:025 Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto
           Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword
           devoureth one as well as another:  make thy battle more strong
           against the city, and overthrow it:  and encourage thou him.

10:011:026 And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was
           dead, she mourned for her husband.

10:011:027 And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to
           his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son.  But
           the thing that David had done displeased the lord.

10:012:001 And the lord sent Nathan unto David.  And he came unto him, and
           said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich,
           and the other poor.

10:012:002 The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds:
