2 Samuel 11:18 DBY

¹⁶  And it came to pass as Joab watched the city, that he assigned Urijah to a place where he knew that the valiant men were.

¹⁷  And the men of the city went out and fought with Joab; and there fell some of the people, of the servants of David; and Urijah the Hittite died also.

¹⁸  Then Joab sent and told David all the matters of the war;

¹⁹  and charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast ended telling the matters of the war to the king,

²⁰  and if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say to thee, Why did ye go so near to the city to fight? did ye not know that they would shoot from the wall?
