2 Samuele 11:7

7 E, quando Uria fu venuto a lui, Davide gli domandò del bene stare di Ioab, e del bene stare del popolo; e se la guerra andava bene.

2 Samuele 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 Samuele 11:7 In-Context

5 E quella donna ingravidò; e mandò a farlo assapere a Davide, dicendo: Io son gravida.

6 E Davide mandò a dire a Ioab: Mandami Uria Hitteo. E Ioab mandò Uria a Davide.

7 E, quando Uria fu venuto a lui, Davide gli domandò del bene stare di Ioab, e del bene stare del popolo; e se la guerra andava bene.

8 Poi Davide disse ad Uria: Scendi a casa tua, e lavati i piedi. Uria adunque uscì fuor della casa reale, e gli fu portato dietro un messo di vivande del re.

9 Ma Uria giacque alla porta della casa del re, con tutti i servitori del suo signore, e non iscese a casa sua.
