American Standard Version2 Samuel 11 | |
2 Samuel 11:16 | And it came to pass, when Joab kept watch upon the city, that he assigned Uriah unto the place where he knew that valiant men were. |
2 Samuel 11:17 | And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also. |
2 Samuel 11:18 | Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war; |
2 Samuel 11:19 | and he charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling all the things concerning the war unto the king, |
2 Samuel 11:20 | it shall be that, if the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore went ye so nigh unto the city to fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall? |
2 Samuel 11:21 | who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast an upper millstone upon him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? why went ye so nigh the wall? then shalt thou say, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. |
2 Samuel 11:22 | So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for. |
