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.
