2 Samuel 11:19-21

Modern English Version

¹⁹ He instructed the messenger, “When you finish telling the king all the details of the battle, ²⁰ if his anger rises and he says to you, ‘Why did you approach so near to the city? Did you not know that they might shoot from the city wall? ²¹ Who killed Abimelek the son of Jerub-Besheth? Did not a woman throw an upper millstone on him from the city wall so that he died at Thebez? Why did you approach so near to the city wall?’ You shall then say, ‘Additionally your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead.’ ”
