2 Samuel 11:19-21

The Voice

Joab (to the messenger): ¹⁹ Give the king all of this news about the battle. ²⁰ If he gets angry and asks you, “Why did the army go so near the city to fight? Didn’t you realize that they would shoot from the walls? ²¹ Wasn’t Abimelech, Jerubbesheth’s son, killed by a woman who dropped a millstone on him from the wall at Thebez?^[a] Why were you so close to the wall?” then tell him, “Your servant Uriah the Hittite was also killed in the fighting.”
