“And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,”
“and he charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling all the things concerning the war unto the king, ”
“He instructed the messenger as follows:“When you finish giving the battle report to the king,”
“And he charged the messenger, saying: When thou hast told all the words of the battle to the king,”
“And he gave orders to the man who took the news, saying, After you have given the king all the news about the war,”

It happened, when Joab kept watch on the city, that he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.
The men of the city went out, and fought with Joab. Some of the people fell, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
and he commanded the messenger, saying, "When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war to the king,
it shall be that, if the king's wrath arise, and he asks you, 'Why did you go so near to the city to fight? Didn't you know that they would shoot from the wall?
who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Didn't a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?' then you shall say, 'Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.'"
So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for.
