2 Samuel 11:15 in Context — 2 Samuel 11
13 E Davi o convidou, e fez-lhe comer e beber diante de si, até embriagá-lo. E ele saiu à tarde para dormir em sua cama com os servos de seu senhor; mas não desceu à sua casa.
14 Vinda a manhã, escreveu Davi a Joabe uma carta, a qual enviou por mão de Urias.
15 E escreveu na carta, dizendo: Ponde a Urias diante da força da batalha, e desamparai-o, para que seja ferido e morra.
16 Assim foi que quando Joabe cercou a cidade, pôs a Urias no lugar de onde sabia que estavam os homens mais valentes.
17 E saindo logo os da cidade, lutaram com Joabe, e caíram alguns do povo dos servos de Davi; e morreu também Urias Heteu.
