- Who killed Abimelech son of Jerub-Besheth ? Didn't a woman throw 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 say to him, 'Also, your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead.' "
- The messenger set out, and when he arrived he told David everything Joab had sent him to say.
- The messenger said to David, "The men overpowered us and came out against us in the open, but we drove them back to the entrance to the city gate.
- Then 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."
- David told the messenger, "Say this to Joab: 'Don't let this upset you; the sword devours one as well as another. Press the attack against the city and destroy it.' Say this to encourage Joab."

- 從前打死耶路比設〔就是耶路巴力見士師記九章一節〕兒子亞比米勒的是誰呢。豈不是一個婦人、從城上拋下一塊上磨石來、打在他身上、他就死在提備斯麼.你們為甚麼挨近城牆呢.你就說、王的僕人赫人烏利亞也死了。
- 使者起身、來見大衛、照著約押所吩咐他的話、奏告大衛。
- 使者對大衛說、敵人強過我們、出到郊野與我們打仗、我們追殺他們、直到城門口。
- 射箭的從城上射王的僕人、射死幾個、赫人烏利亞也死了。
- 王向使者說、你告訴約押說、不要因這事愁悶、刀劍或吞滅這人、或吞滅那人、沒有一定的、你只管竭力攻城、將城傾覆.可以用這話勉勵約押。
