Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 2 Samuel 11:11

And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.The ark — This it seems, was now carried with them for their encouragement and direction, as was usual.Fields — In tents which are in the fields. His meaning is, now, when God's people are in a... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 2 Samuel 11:15

And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.He arose — So far is David from repenting, that he seeks to cover one sin with another. How are the beginnings of sin to be dreaded! For who knows where it will end? David hath sinned, therefore Uriah must die! That innocent, valiant, gallant man, who was ready to die for his prince's honour, must die by his prince's hand! See how fleshly lusts war... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 2 Samuel 11:27

And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.The mourning — Which was seven days. Nor could the nature of the thing admit of longer delay, lest the too early birth of the child might discover David's sin.Bare a son — By which it appears, That David continued in the state of impenitency for divers months together; and this notwithstanding his frequent attendance upon... read more

SIEGE OF RABBAH, 2 Samuel 11:1. Click image for full-size version 1. The time when kings go forth That season of the year when it was customary for kings or generals to enter upon their military campaigns. This was probably in April, at the close of the cold, rainy season. So Josephus. It is also likely that the intense heat of the summer sometimes caused a temporary cessation of military operations. But Harmer, in his Observations, on this passage shows that the Crusaders carried on war... read more

2. In an evening-tide That is, towards evening, after having taken his mid-day rest. Upon the roof “The roofs of these houses afford such a delightful promenade, and the prospect is so beautiful, that I can scarcely keep away from them day or night. During a large part of the year the roof is the most agreeable place about the establishment, especially in the morning and evening.” Thomson. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 11:2-5

DAVID’S ADULTERY, 2 Samuel 11:2-5. The foul crime here recorded was the turning point in David’s life and reign. He had now reached the acme of his power and glory; the borders of his kingdom had become greatly enlarged, and most of the surrounding nations were tributary to his throne. The Ammonites yet hold out, but we shall soon see them utterly subdued. The coming wars and troubles of David are to be among his own people and in his own house, and these a punishment of sin. When we... read more

3. A woman washing herself For the sake of healthfulness and refreshment after the heats of a summer day. But her washing in such an exposed place was imprudent and immodest, and has justly subjected her to the charge of a desire to be seen. read more

4. David sent messengers So the king’s great sin could not have been altogether secret. These messengers knew of it, and very possibly rumours of it reached Uriah’s ears. She came in unto him She seems to have yielded herself willingly to his desires. For she was purified The word for is here unauthorized and incorrect. The margin gives the proper rendering: And she purified herself from her uncleanness, and returned, etc. This purification was that required by the law after carnal... read more

5. Sent and told David The law required the death of both parties in the crime of adultery, (Leviticus 20:10,) and so, says Josephus, she admonished the king that he should contrive some way of concealing their guilt. This he at once set himself to do. read more

DAVID’S ARTIFICES TO CONCEAL HIS SIN AND TO KILL URIAH, 2 Samuel 11:6-27. 8. Go down to thy house and wash thy feet David’s ostensible object in sending for Uriah was to learn how the war prospered; and, being apparently pleased with his report of affairs, he directs him to go home and rest himself before returning to the scenes of war. Washing the feet was customary after a journey and before retiring to sleep. Genesis 18:4; Genesis 19:2. But the king’s real design was to have Uriah pass... read more
