2 Samuel 11:24-26

Contemporary English Version

²⁴ Then they shot arrows at us from the top of the wall. Some of your soldiers were killed, and one of them was Uriah the Hittite.”

²⁵ David replied, “Tell Joab to cheer up and not to be upset about what happened. You never know who will be killed in a war. Tell him to strengthen his attack against the city and break through its walls.”^[a]

²⁶ When Bathsheba heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him.
