Then they shot arrows at us from the top of the wall. Some of your soldiers were killed, and one of them was Uriah the Hittite.”
He added, “The enemy chased us from the wall and out into the open fields. But we pushed them back as far as the city gate.
David replied, “Tell Joab to cheer up and not to be upset about what happened. You never know who will be killed in a war. Tell him to strengthen his attack against the city and break through its walls.”
We completely defeated Moab. The towns of Heshbon and Dibon, of Nophah and Medeba are ruined and gone.
David asked Ahimelech the Hittite and Joab's brother Abishai, “Which one of you will go with me into Saul's camp?” “I will!” Abishai answered.
