2 Samuel 11:21-23

International Standard Version

²¹ Who killed Jerubbesheth’s^[a] son Abimelech? Didn’t a woman kill him by throwing an upper millstone on him from the wall at Thebez? Why did you go so close to the wall?’ then tell him, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite also died.’”

²² So the messenger left Joab, set out for Jerusalem,^[b] and disclosed to David everything that Joab had sent him to say. ²³ The messenger told David, “The men surprised us and attacked us in the field, but we drove them back to the entrance of the city gate.
