2 Samuel 11:22-24

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²² So the messenger went, and came and told David all that Jo′ab had sent him to tell. ²³ The messenger said to David, “The men gained an advantage over us, and came out against us in the field; but we drove them back to the entrance of the gate. ²⁴ Then the archers shot at your servants from the wall; some of the king’s servants are dead; and your servant Uri′ah the Hittite is dead also.”
