2 Samuel 11:18-21
18Joab sent to David a full account of the battle 19and instructed the messenger, “When you have finished giving the king a full account of the battle, 20if the king’s anger flares, he may ask you, ‘Why did you get so close to the city to fight? Did you not realize they would shoot from atop the wall? 21Who struck Abimelech son of Jerubbesheth1? Was it not a woman who dropped 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 you are to say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead as well.’”
