Contextual Overview

¹⁴ And the morning came, and David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Urias. ¹⁵ And he wrote in the letter, saying, Station Urias in front of the severe part of the fight, and retreat from behind him, so shall he be wounded and die. ¹⁶ And it came to pass while Joab was watching against the city, that he set Urias in a place where he knew that valiant men were. ¹⁷ And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and some of the people of the servants of David fell, and Urias the Chettite died also. ¹⁸ And Joab sent, and reported to David all the events of the war, so as to tell them to the king. ¹⁹ And he charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast finished reporting all the events of the war to the king, ²⁰ then it shall come to pass if the anger of the king shall arise, and he shall say to thee, Why did ye draw nigh to the city to fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from off the wall? ²¹ Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerobaal son of Ner? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from above the wall, and he died in Thamasi? why did ye draw near to the wall? then thou shalt say, Thy servant Urias the Chettite is also dead. ²² And the messenger of Joab went to the king to Jerusalem, and he came and reported to David all that Joab told him, all the affairs of the war. And David was very angry with Joab, and said to the messenger, Why did ye draw nigh to the wall to fight? knew ye not that ye would be wounded from off the wall? Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerobaal? did not a woman cast upon him a piece of millstone from the wall, and he died in Thamasi? why did ye draw near to the wall? ²³ And the messenger said to David, The men prevailed against us, and they came out against us into the field, and we came upon them even to the door of the gate.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then Joab sent,.... Messengers to David, as soon as Uriah was killed:

and told David all the things concerning the war; how the siege had been carried on; what success they had had, good or ill; what their advantages and disadvantages; what men they had lost, and especially in one sally of the enemy upon them, for the sake of which the express was sent.
