2 Samuel 11:17-21

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.

Then Joab sent a messenger and reported to David all the events of the war.

He ordered the messenger, saying, “When you have finished telling all the events of the war to the king,

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?

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.’ ”
