18JoabH3097 sentH7971H5046 to DavidH1732 a full accountH3605H1697 of the battleH4421 19and instructedH6680 the messengerH4397H559, “When you have finishedH3615 givingH1696H413 the kingH4428 a fullH3605 accountH1697 of the battleH4421, 20ifH518 the king’sH4428 angerH2534 flaresH5927, he may askH559 you, ‘WhyH4069 did you get so closeH5066 toH413 the cityH5892 to fightH3898? Did you notH3808 realizeH3045 they would shootH3384 from atopH5921 the wallH2346? 21WhoH4310 struckH5221 AbimelechH40 sonH1121 of JerubbeshethH33801?
