2 Samuel 11:21 WBT

¹⁹  And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war to the king,

²⁰  And if the king's wrath shall rise, and he shall say to thee, Why approached ye so nigh to the city for the fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?

²¹  Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.

²²  So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for.

²³  And the messenger said to David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out to us into the field, and we were upon them even to the entrance of the gate.
