2 Samuel 11:18

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.

2 Samuel 11:18 In-Context

16 So while Joab was watching the town, he put Uriah in the place where it was clear to him the best fighters were.

17 And the men of the town went out and had a fight with Joab: and a number of David's men came to their death in the fight, and with them Uriah the Hittite.

18 Then Joab sent David news of everything which had taken place in the war:

19 And he gave orders to the man who took the news, saying, After you have given the king all the news about the war,

20 If the king is angry and says, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall?
