2 Samuel 11:20

And if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?

And if so be that the king's {H4428} wrath {H2534} arise {H5927}, and he say {H559} unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh {H5066} unto the city {H5892} when ye did fight {H3898}? knew {H3045} ye not that they would shoot {H3384} from the wall {H2346}?

he may become angry and ask you, 'Why did you get so close to the city to fight? Didn't you know they would shoot from the wall?

if the king’s anger flares, he may ask you, ‘Why did you get so close to the city to fight? Did you not realize they would shoot from atop the wall?

it shall be that, if the king’s wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore went ye so nigh unto the city to fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?
