2 Samuel 11:18-21 ▼

18 And Joab sent and told David all the matters of the war,

19 and he commanded the messenger, saying, “When you have finished telling all the matters of the war to the king,

20 and it comes to pass that if the wrath of the king rises and he says to you, ‘Why did you? approach so near to the city when you fought? Did not you? know that they would shoot from the wall?

21 Who struck Abimelech son of Jerubbesheth? Was it not a woman who cast on him a piece of a millstone from the wall, so that he died in Thebez? Why did you? go near the wall?’ Then you shall say, ‘Also your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead.’”
