2 Samuel 11:7 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 11:7

And when Uriah was come unto him
To David, to whom he came first, before he went to his own house, desirous of knowing what was the special business of the king with him:

David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how
the war prospered;
he asked of the welfare of Joab the general, and of the common soldiers, and of the warriors, as the Targum, the mighty men that went along with Joab, ( 2 Samuel 10:7 ) ( 11:1 ) . David seems to have been at a loss what to say to him. These questions were so mean and trivial, that it might justly give Uriah some suspicion that it could never he on this account, that he was sent for; since David could not want intelligence of such things, expresses being daily sending him.

2 Samuel 11:7 In-Context

5 A mulher concebeu; e mandou dizer a Davi: Estou grávida.
6 Então Davi mandou dizer a Joabe: Envia-me Urias, o heteu. E Joabe o enviou a Davi.
7 Vindo, pois, Urias a Davi, este lhe perguntou como passava Joabe, e como estava o povo, e como ia a guerra.
8 Depois disse Davi a Urias: Desce a tua casa, e lava os teus pés. E, saindo Urias da casa real, logo foi mandado após ele um presente do rei.
9 Mas Urias dormiu � porta da casa real, com todos os servos do seu senhor, e não desceu a sua casa.
