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

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 It happened, when Yo'av kept watch on the city, that he assigned Uriyah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.

17 The men of the city went out, and fought with Yo'av: and there fell some of the people, even of the servants of David; and Uriyah the Hittite died also.

18 Then Yo'av sent and told David all the things concerning the war;

19 and he charged the messenger, saying, "When you have made an end of telling all the things concerning the war to the king,

20 it shall be that, if the king's wrath arise, and he tells you, 'Why did you go so near to the city to fight? Didn't you know that they would shoot from the wall?
