And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 11 of 2 Samuel. David attempts to conceal the pregnancy by calling Uriah back from the front and trying to get him to return home. However, Uriah refuses to enjoy comfort while the ark, Israel, and the army remain in the field. His loyalty sharply contrasts with David’s conduct. The cover-up fails because Uriah’s integrity exposes the king’s corruption. The narrative thus prepares the escalation toward even greater violence.

Und da Uria zu ihm kam, fragte David, ob es mit Joab und mit dem Volk und mit dem Streit wohl stünde?
Y como Uría vino a él, preguntole David por la salud de Joab, y por la salud del pueblo, y asimismo de la guerra.
Cuando Urías llegó ante él, David le preguntó cómo estaba Joab, cómo estaba el pueblo y cómo iba la guerra.
Urie se rendit auprès de David, qui l'interrogea sur l'état de Joab, sur l'état du peuple, et sur l'état de la guerre.
E, quando Uria fu venuto a lui, Davide gli domandò del bene stare di Ioab, e del bene stare del popolo; e se la guerra andava bene.
Vindo, pois, Urias a ele, perguntou Davi como passava Joabe, e como estava o povo, e como ia a guerra.
