2 Samuel 11:22-24

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.”

[11:23]  ¹ tn Heb “and came out to us.”

[11:23]  ² tn Heb “but we were on them.”

[11:24]  ³ tc The translation follows the Qere (“your servants”) rather than the Kethib (“your servant”).
