2 Samuel 11:15-21
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 11
15
He had written in the letter the following: 'Station Uriah on the front line of the fiercest battle and pull back from him, so that he may be struck and killed.'
16
So it was as Joab kept watch on the city, that he stationed Uriah at the place where he knew there
were
valiant men.
17
And the men of the city went out and fought against Joab, and some of the people among David’s servants fell; and Uriah the Hittite also died.
18
Then Joab sent
a messenger
and reported to David all the events of the war.
19
He ordered the messenger, saying, 'When you have finished telling all the events of the war to the king,
20
then it shall be that if the king’s wrath rises and he says to you, ‘Why did you move against the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall?
21
Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Did a woman not throw an upper millstone on him from the wall so that he died at Thebez? Why did you move against the wall?’—then you shall say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite also died.’?'
King James Version
Chapter 11
15
And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.
16
And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were.
17
And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
18
Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
19
And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,
20
And if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?
21
Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 11
15
In the letter he wrote: Put Uriah at the front of the fiercest fighting, then withdraw from him so that he is struck down and dies.
16
When Joab was besieging the city, he put Uriah in the place where he knew the best enemy soldiers were.
17
Then the men of the city came out and attacked Joab, and some of the men from David’s soldiers fell in battle; Uriah the Hethite also died.
18
Joab sent someone to report to David all the details of the battle.
19
He commanded the messenger, "When you’ve finished telling the king all the details of the battle—
20
if the king’s anger gets stirred up and he asks you, ‘Why did you get so close to the city to fight? Didn’t you realize they would shoot from the top of the wall?
21
At Thebez, who struck Abimelech son of Jerubbesheth? Didn’t a woman drop an upper millstone on him from the top of the wall so that he died? Why did you get so close to the wall?’—then say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hethite is dead also.’"
New Living Translation
Chapter 11
15
The letter instructed Joab, 'Station Uriah on the front lines where the battle is fiercest. Then pull back so that he will be killed.'
16
So Joab assigned Uriah to a spot close to the city wall where he knew the enemy’s strongest men were fighting.
17
And when the enemy soldiers came out of the city to fight, Uriah the Hittite was killed along with several other Israelite soldiers.
18
Then Joab sent a battle report to David.
19
He told his messenger, 'Report all the news of the battle to the king.
20
But he might get angry and ask, ‘Why did the troops go so close to the city? Didn’t they know there would be shooting from the walls?
21
Wasn’t Abimelech son of Gideon killed at Thebez by a woman who threw a millstone down on him from the wall? Why would you get so close to the wall?’ Then tell him, ‘Uriah the Hittite was killed, too.’'
English Standard Version
Chapter 11
15
In the letter he wrote, "Set Uriah in the forefront of the hardest fighting, and then draw back from him, that he may be struck down, and die."
16
And as Joab was besieging the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew there were valiant men.
17
And the men of the city came out and fought with Joab, and some of the servants of David among the people fell. Uriah the Hittite also died.
18
Then Joab sent and told David all the news about the fighting.
19
And he instructed the messenger, "When you have finished telling all the news about the fighting to the king,
20
then, if the king 's anger rises, and if he says to you, ‘Why did you go so near the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall?
21
Who killed Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Did not a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?’ then you shall say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.’"
New International Version
Chapter 11
15
In it he wrote, "Put Uriah out in front where the fighting is fiercest. Then withdraw from him so he will be struck down and die."
16
So while Joab had the city under siege, he put Uriah at a place where he knew the strongest defenders were.
17
When the men of the city came out and fought against Joab, some of the men in David’s army fell; moreover, Uriah the Hittite died.
18
Joab sent David a full account of the battle.
19
He instructed the messenger: "When you have finished giving the king this account of the battle,
20
the king’s anger may flare up, and he may ask you, ‘Why did you get so close to the city to fight? Didn’t you know they would shoot arrows from the wall?
21
Who killed Abimelek son of Jerub-Besheth ? Didn’t a woman drop an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died in Thebez? Why did you get so close to the wall?’ If he asks you this, then say to him, ‘Moreover, your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead.’ "
