2 Samuel 11:23 in Context — 2 Samuel 11

21 Quem feriu a Abimeleque filho de Jerubusete? Não lançou uma mulher do muro um pedaço de uma roda de moinho, e morreu em Tebes? Por que vos aproximastes ao muro? Então tu lhe dirás: Também teu servo Urias Heteu é morto.

22 E foi o mensageiro, e chegando, contou a Davi todas as coisas a que Joabe lhe havia enviado.

23 E disse o mensageiro a Davi: Prevaleceram contra nós os homens, que saíram a nós ao campo, bem que nós lhes fizemos retroceder até a entrada da porta;

24 Porém os flecheiros atiraram contra teus servos desde o muro, e morreram alguns dos servos do rei; e morreu também teu servo Urias Heteu.

25 E Davi disse ao mensageiro: Dirás assim a Joabe: Não tenhas pesar disto, que de igual e semelhante maneira costuma consumir a espada: esforça a batalha contra a cidade, até que a rendas. E tu conforta-o.
