Then David sent to Joab, saying, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” So Joab sent Uriah to David. Why did you not go down to yourhouse?”. Uriah said to David, “The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in temporary shelters, and my lord Joab and the 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? David and Bathsheba is a 1951 historical Technicolor epic film about King David made by 20th Century Fox. It was directed by Henry King, produced by Darryl. 2 Samuel 11 New International Version (NIV) David and Bathsheba. 11 In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab out with the king’s men and. By your life and the life of your soul, I will not do this thing.”. Then David said to Uriah, “Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you go.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next. David called Uriah in fromthe battle, probably under the guise of a special project or task (not really a “lie” in legalese thinking — it was a special project for the king, in a warpedsort of way). After a few pleasantries and war stories, he told Uriah to go down to his house, assuming of course that Uriah would have marital relations with Bathshebawhile he was home, which would allow him to think that the baby was his, effectively covering up the incident. He would not go and enjoy the pleasures of home when his fellow- soldiers werecamping in the battlefield.

So it was as Joab kept watch on the city, that he put Uriah at the place where he knew there were valiant men.

Then Joab sent and reported to David all the events of the war. Did you not know that they would shoot from thewall? Did not a woman throw an upper millstone on him from the wall so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go sonear the wall?’–then you shall say, . Matters of state and ethical issues had been pushed down on David’s priority list. Now, with Uriah out of the way, David could make the Cover- up complete. Now when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband. But the thing that David had donewas evil in the sight of the LORD. Then, as a gesture of supposed nobility, the king took the poor widow in and made her one of his wives. My, whata noble gesture — in today’s world, the king’s press agent would have made it a photo- op, and gotten it on the front page of every newspaper in the land. The only living person who knew the entire truth and could testify against him was Bathsheba, and and her silencewas probably motivated by fear for her own life.
