2 Samuel 11:20

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.
