So he asked Uriah, "Haven’t you just come from a military campaign? Why didn’t you go home?" Uriah said to David, "The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in tents, a and my commander Joab and my lord's men are camped in the open country. How could I go to my house to eat and drink and make love to my wife? As surely as you live, I will not do such a thing!" " (2 Samuel 11:6-11)
