²⁴ The archers on the city wall shot at your servants, and some of ·your men [^Lthe king’s servants] were killed. Your servant Uriah the Hittite also died.”

²⁵ David said to the messenger, “Say this to Joab: ‘Don’t be ·upset [discouraged; troubled] about this. The sword ·kills everyone the same [^Ldevours first one and then another]. ·Make a stronger attack [Fight harder; Press your attack] against the city and capture it.’ Encourage Joab with these words.”

²⁶ When ·Bathsheba [^Lthe wife of Uriah] heard that her husband was dead, she ·cried [mourned] for him.
