11 Uriah said to David, "1The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in temporary shelters, and my lord Joab and 2the 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? By your life and the life of your soul, I will not do this thing."
