__*[17:12](rc://en/tn/help/obs/17/12)__ Bathsheba's husband, a man named __Uriah__, was one of David's best soldiers. David called __Uriah__ back from the battle and told him to go be with his wife. But __Uriah__ refused to go home while the rest of the soldiers were in battle. So David sent __Uriah__ back to the battle and told the general to place him where the enemy was strongest so that he would be killed.
__*[17:13](rc://en/tn/help/obs/17/13)__ After __Uriah__ was killed, David married Bathsheba.
