Contextual Overview

¹⁴ Now in the morning, David gave Uriah a letter to take to Joab. ¹⁵ And in the letter he said, Take care to put Uriah in the very front of the line, where the fighting is most violent, and go back from him, so that he may be overcome and put to death. 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? ²¹ Who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall? Then say to him, Your servant Uriah the Hittite is among the dead. ²² So the man went, and came to David, and gave him all the news which Joab had sent him to give; then David was angry with Joab and said, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall? who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall? ²³ And the man said to David, Truly the men got the better of us, and came out against us into the open country, but we sent them back to the very doors of the town.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.
