When Joab kept watch on the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.
The men of the city went out and fought with Joab. Some of the people fell, even of David’s servants; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
Why have you despised the word of YHWH, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hittite with the sword, have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
because David did that which was right in YHWH’s eyes, and didn’t turn away from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, the God of my salvation. My tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.
Against you, and you only, I have sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight, so you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
The heart is deceitful above all things and incurably sick. Who can understand it?
Y’all sing to YHWH! Y’all praise YHWH, for ʜᴇ has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
Saul said to David, “Look, my elder daughter Merab. I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight YHWH’s battles.” For Saul said, “Don’t let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
Saul said, I will give her to him, so that she may be a snare to him and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Therefore Saul said to David a second time, “You may be my son-in-law today.”
Saul said, “Y’all tell David, ‘The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, as revenge for the king’s enemies.’” Now Saul thought he would make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
