ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૧૧:૨૩
તેણે દાઉદને કહ્યું, “આપણે બળવાન હતા તેનાથી પણ વધારે બળવાન શત્રુઓ હતા; તેઓ અમારી સમક્ષ મેદાનમાં આવ્યા પણ અમે દરવાજાના પ્રવેશદ્વારેથી જ તેમને પાછા પાડ્યા.
हिन्दी2 शमूएल ११:२३
दूत ने दाऊद से कहा, “वे लोग हम पर प्रबल होकर मैदान में हमारे पास निकल आए, फिर हमने उन्हें फाटक तक खदेड़ा।

In context

21Who 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 also dead.’”

22So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for.

23The messenger said to David, “The men prevailed against us, and came out to us into the field; and we were on them even to the entrance of the gate.

24The shooters shot at your servants from off the wall; and some of the king’s servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead.”

25Then David said to the messenger, “Tell Joab, ‘Don’t let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Make your battle stronger against the city, and overthrow it.’ Encourage him.”
