25 At that Saul said: “This is what YOU men will say to David, ‘The king has delight, not in marriage money,+ but in a hundred foreskins+ of the Phi·lisʹtines, to avenge+ himself on the enemies of the king.’” But as for Saul, he had schemed to have David fall by the hand of the Phi·lisʹtines.

15 So he wrote in the letter, saying:+ “PUT U·riʹah in front of the heaviest battle charges,+ and YOU men must retreat from behind him, and he must be struck down and die.”+

9 Why did you despise the word of Jehovah by doing what is bad+ in his eyes? U·riʹah the Hitʹtite you struck down with the sword,+ and his wife you took as your wife,+ and him you killed by the sword of the sons of Amʹmon.
