Shmuel Bais 11:18-20

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁸ Then Yoav sent and told Dovid all the things concerning the milchamah;

¹⁹ And charged the malach, saying, When thou hast made an end of reporting all the matters of the milchamah unto HaMelech,

²⁰ And if so be that the chamat HaMelech (wrath of the King) flare up, and he say unto thee, why approached ye so near unto the Ir when ye did fight? Knew ye not that they would shoot from the chomah (wall)?
