Contextual Overview
14The next morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah. 15In the letter he wrote: "Put Uriah at the front of the fiercest battle; then withdraw from him, so that he may be struck down and die." 16So as Joab besieged the city, he assigned Uriah to a place where he saw the strongest enemy soldiers. 17And when the men of the city came out and fought against Joab, some of David's servants fell, and Uriah the Hittite also died.18Joab sent to David a full account of the battle 19and instructed the messenger, "When you have finished giving the king all the details of the battle, 20if the king's anger flares, he may ask you, 'Why did you get so close to the city to fight? Did you not realize they would shoot from atop the wall? 21Who was the one to strike Abimelech son of Jerubbesheth? Was it not a woman who dropped an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died in Thebez? Why did you get so close to the wall?' If so, then you are to say, 'Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead as well.'" 22So the messenger set out and reported to David all that Joab had sent him to say. 23The messenger said to David, "The men overpowered us and came out against us in the field, but we drove them back to the entrance of the gate.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the men of the city went out,.... Made a sally out, as Joab expected they would, when they appeared before them at that part of the city where valiant men were:
and fought with Joab; at least with part of his army posted with Uriah:
and there fell [some] of the people of the servants of David: which made David's sin the more heinous, that several lives were lost through the stratagem he devised to procure the death of Uriah; who could not be placed in a dangerous post alone, and therefore others must be sacrificed with him, as were:
and Uriah the Hittite died also; which was the thing aimed at, and the end to be answered by this scheme.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The men of the city went out - i. e. they made a sally and attacked the troops which were blockading the city on that side, chiefly to entice them to pursue them, and so come within shot of the archers who lined the wall 2 Samuel 11:20, 2 Samuel 11:24.
There fell some of the people ... - They, too, as well as the brave and faithful Uriah, were victims of Davidâs cruel artifice.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 11:17. Uriah the Hitite died also. — He was led to the attack of a place defended by valiant men; and in the heat of the assault, Joab and his men retired from this brave soldier, who cheerfully gave up his life for his king and his country.
