2 Samuel 11:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ And he charged the messenger, saying: When thou hast told all the words of the battle to the king,

²⁰ If thou see him to be angry, and he shall say: Why did you approach so near to the wall to fight? knew you not that many darts are thrown from above off the wall?

²¹ Who killed Abimelech the son of Jerobaal? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, and slew him in Thebes? Why did you go near the wall? Thou shalt say: Thy servant Urias the Hethite is also slain.
