Contextual Overview

¹⁴ And it came to passe in the morning, that Dauid wrote a letter to Ioab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah. ¹⁵ And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set yee Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battel, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die. ¹⁶ And it came to passe when Ioab obserued the citie, that he assigned Uriah vnto a place where hee knewe that valiant men were. ¹⁷ And the men of the city went out, and fought with Ioab: and there fell some of the people of the seruants of Dauid, and Uriah the Hittite died also. ¹⁸ Then Ioab sent, and tolde Dauid all the things concerning the warre: ¹⁹ And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an ende of telling the matters of the warre vnto the King; ²⁰ And if so be that the kings wrath arise, and hee say vnto thee, Wherefore approched ye so nigh vnto the city when yee did fight? Knew yee not that they would shoot from the wall? ²¹ Who smote Abimelech the sonne of Ierubesheth? Did not a woman cast a piece of a milstone vpon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? Then say thou, Thy seruant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. ²² So the messenger went, and came and shewed Dauid all that Ioab had sent him for. ²³ And the messenger said vnto Dauid, Surely the men preuailed against vs, and came out vnto vs into the field, and we were vpon them euen vnto the entring of the gate.

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.
