2 Samuel 11:17-21

Living Bible

¹⁷ and Uriah was killed along with several other Israeli soldiers.

¹⁸ When Joab sent a report to David of how the battle was going, ^19-21 he told his messenger, “If the king is angry and asks, ‘Why did the troops go so close to the city? Didn’t they know there would be shooting from the walls? Wasn’t Abimelech killed at Thebez by a woman who threw down a millstone on him?’—then tell him, ‘Uriah was killed too.’”
