2 Samuel 11:18-21 ▼

18 Then Joab sent a battle report to David.

19 He told his messenger, “Report all the news of the battle to the king.

20 But he might get angry and ask, ‘Why did the troops go so close to the city? Didn’t they know there would be shooting from the walls?

21 Wasn’t Abimelech son of Gideon killed at Thebez by a woman who threw a millstone down on him from the wall? Why would you get so close to the wall?’ Then tell him, ‘Uriah the Hittite was killed, too.’”
