The messenger Joab sends tells David that Uriah the Hittite is also dead

요압이 보낸 사자가 다윗에게 헷 사람 우리아도 죽었다고 고함

2 Samuel 11:18–25: then Joab sends and tells David all the things concerning the war; and he commands the messenger, saying, “When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war to the king, it shall be that, if the king’s wrath arise, and he asks you, ‘Why did you go so near to the city to fight? Didn’t you know that they would shoot from the wall? Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Didn’t 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 also dead.’” So the messenger goes, and comes and shows David all that Joab had sent him for. The messenger says to David, “The men prevailed against us, and came out to us into the field; and we were on them even to the entrance of the gate. The shooters shot at your servants from off the wall; and some of the king’s servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead.” Then David says to the messenger, “Tell Joab, ‘Don’t let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Make your battle stronger against the city, and overthrow it.’ Encourage him.” At 11:21 the Korean Revised Version reads 성에서 where WEB has “from the wall”; at 11:23 it does not name the messenger (가로되).
