2 Samuel 11:20-22

International Standard Version

²⁰ if the king starts to get angry and asks you, ‘Why did you get so near the city to fight? Didn’t you know they would shoot from the wall? ²¹ Who killed Jerubbesheth’s^[a] son Abimelech? Didn’t a woman kill him by throwing an upper millstone on him from the wall at Thebez? Why did you go so close to the wall?’ then tell him, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite also died.’”

²² So the messenger left Joab, set out for Jerusalem,^[b] and disclosed to David everything that Joab had sent him to say.
