22 And the messenger will go, and come and announce to David all that for which Joab sent him. 23 And the messenger will say to David, That the men were strengthened upon us, and they came out to us to the field, and they were upon them, even to the door of the gate. 24 And they beholding, aimed at thy servants from above the wall: and from the servants of the king will die, and also thy servant, Uriah the Hittite died. 25 And David will say to the messenger, Thus shalt thou say to Joab, This same word shall not be evil in thine eyes, as this, and as this, the sword shall consume: strengthen thy battle against the city and pull it down: and strengthen yourselves. 26 And Uriah's wife will hear that Uriah her husband died, and she will mourn for her lord. 27 And the mourning will pass over, and David will send and take her to his house, and she will be to him for wife, and bear to him a son. And the word which David did will be evil in the eyes of Jehovah. 2 Samuel 11:22-27, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
