2 Samuel 11:23-25

The Voice

Messenger: ²³ Their soldiers came out against us into the field surrounding the city. At first they had the advantage over us, but we drove them back to their gate. ²⁴ Then their archers fired on us from the wall; and some of your servants were killed, including your servant Uriah the Hittite.

David: ²⁵ Take this reply back to Joab: “Don’t let this trouble you. The sword kills indiscriminately. Continue to push forward against the city, and capture it.” And give him my encouragement.
