2 Samuel 11:22-24

22The messenger set out, and when he arrived he told David everything Joab had sent him to say.

23The messenger said to David, “The men overpowered us and came out against us in the open, but we drove them back to the entrance of the city gate.

24Then the archers shot arrows at your servants from the wall, and some of the king’s men died. Moreover, your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead.”
