2 Samuel 11:20 DBY

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?

²¹  Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast the upper stone of a handmill from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why did ye go near the wall? -- then say thou, Thy servant Urijah the Hittite is dead also.

²²  And the messenger went; and he came and told David all that Joab had sent him for.
