2 Samuel 11:19-21

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁹ And he charged the messenger, saying, “When you have finished telling all the matters of the war to the king,

²⁰ “and if the king’s anger arises, so that he says to you, ‘Why did you approach the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall?

²¹ ‘Who struck Abimelech, son of Jerubbesheth? Did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall and he died in Thebez? Why did you go near the wall?’ Then you say, ‘Your servant, Uriah the Hittite, is also dead.’”
