2 Samuel 11:11

And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? [as] thou livest, and [as] thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.

And Uriah {H223} said {H559} unto David {H1732}, The ark {H727}, and Israel {H3478}, and Judah {H3063}, abide {H3427} in tents {H5521}; and my lord {H113} Joab {H3097}, and the servants {H5650} of my lord {H113}, are encamped {H2583} in the open {H6440} fields {H7704}; shall I {H589} then go {H935} into mine house {H1004}, to eat {H398} and to drink {H8354}, and to lie {H7901} with my wife {H802}? as thou livest {H2416}, and as thy soul {H5315} liveth {H2416}, I will not do {H6213} this thing {H1697}.

Uriyah answered David, "The ark, Isra'el and Y'hudah stay in tents; and my lord Yo'av and the servants of my lord are camping in the countryside. So should I go into my house to eat and drink and go to bed with my wife? As surely as you live, I will not do such a thing!"

Uriah answered, “The ark and Israel and Judah are dwelling in tents, and my master Joab and his soldiers are camped in the open field. How can I go to my house to eat and drink and sleep with my wife? As surely as you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do such a thing!”

And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in booths; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open field; shall I then go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.
