Nights on the king’s doorstep.
One of King David’s servants. A few of us sleep on mats by the palace door, in case the king needs anything in the night. You meet people.

Morning. Uriah never went home. He slept out here at the palace door on a mat, with the rest of us.

Somebody’s already gone to tell the king.

Honestly, I’ve slept next to a lot of people on this step. Never anyone who chose it.

Another night on the step, then. I’ll save him a spot.
Uriah ate at the king’s table tonight. The king kept his cup full until he was drunk.

And he still didn’t go home. He’s out here again on his cot, next to the rest of us.

I slept next to him on this step. Every night he was here.

I’ve watched this house a long time. I didn’t expect that answer.
