S'il arrive que le roi se mette en colère et qu'il te dise: Pourquoi vous êtes-vous approchés de la ville pour combattre? Ne savez-vous pas bien qu'on tire de dessus la muraille?
s'il arrive que la fureur du roi monte, et qu'il te dise: Pourquoi vous êtes-vous approchés de la ville pour combattre? Ne savez-vous pas qu'on tire de dessus la muraille?
peut-être se mettra-t-il en fureur et te dira-t-il: Pourquoi vous êtes vous approchés de la ville pour combattre? Ne savez-vous pas qu'on lance des traits du haut de la muraille?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And if so be that the king's wrath arise,.... Which might be seen in his countenance, or expressed in his words:
and he say, wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? as to expose the king's troops to the enemy on the wall, who by stones or darts greatly annoyed them, or sallied out on them, and killed many of them:
knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall? they must have known that, and therefore should have kept out of the reach of their shot.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 11:20. If - the king's wrath arise — It is likely that Joab had by some indiscretion suffered loss about this time; and he contrived to get rid of the odium by connecting the transaction with the death of Uriah, which he knew would be so pleasing to the king.
