In context

14The next morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah.

15In the letter he wrote: “Put Uriah at the front of the fiercest battle; then withdraw from him, so that he may be struck down and killed.”

16So as Joab besieged the city, he assigned Uriah to a place where he knew the strongest enemy soldiers were.

17And when the men of the city came out and fought against Joab, some of David’s servants fell, and Uriah the Hittite also died.

18Joab sent to David a full account of the battle
