- 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."

- 从前打死耶路比设(就是耶路巴力,见士师记九章一节)儿子亚比米勒的是谁呢。岂不是一个妇人从城上抛下一块上磨石来,打在他身上,他就死在提备斯麽。你们为什么挨近城墙呢?你就说,王的仆人,赫人乌利亚也死了。
- 使者起身,来见大卫,照着约押所吩咐他的话奏告大卫。
- 使者对大卫说,敌人强过我们,出到郊野与我们打仗,我们追杀他们,直到城门口。
- 射箭的从城上射王的仆人,射死几个,赫人乌利亚也死了。
- 王向使者说,你告诉约押说,不要因这事愁闷,刀剑或吞灭这人或吞灭那人,没有一定的。你只管竭力攻城,将城倾覆。可以用这话勉励约押。
