11:22 So the messenger departed. When he arrived, he informed David of all the news that Joab had sent with him. 11:23 The messenger said to David, “The men overpowered us and attacked us 1 in the field. But we forced them to retreat all the way 2 to the door of the city gate. 11:24 Then the archers shot at your servants from the wall and some of the king’s soldiers 3 died. Your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead.”
