Then David said to the messenger, 'Thus you shall say to Joab, Do not let this matter trouble you; for the sword devours now one and now another; press your siege against the city, and overthrow it.' - David's response shows feigned indifference. He tells Joab to continue the siege. The words sound like a commander's rational counsel, yet they mask murderous intent.
