Answer Details
David gave Uriah leave to go to his house and wash his feet in order to conceal his adultery with Bathsheba. David had committed adultery with Bathsheba and wanted to cover up his sin. So, he called Uriah back from the battle and encouraged him to go home and spend time with his wife. David's plan was that Uriah would sleep with Bathsheba, and then the child that was born would be considered Uriah's. However, Uriah was too loyal to his fellow soldiers to enjoy such pleasures while they were still in the field of battle. So, David had to devise another plan to cover up his sin.
