2 Samuel 11:22-25

2 Samuel 11:22-25 NCV

The messenger left and went to David and told him everything Joab had told him to say. The messenger told David, “The men of Ammon were winning. They came out and attacked us in the field, but we fought them back to the city gate. The archers on the city wall shot at your servants, and some of your men were killed. Your servant Uriah the Hittite also died.” David said to the messenger, “Say this to Joab: ‘Don’t be upset about this. The sword kills everyone the same. Make a stronger attack against the city and capture it.’ Encourage Joab with these words.”
