2 Samuele 11:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 11:6

And David sent to Joab
Who was with the army besieging Rabbah, which, according to Bunting ^F11, was sixty four miles from Jerusalem:

[saying], send me Uriah the Hittite;
the scheme David had contrived in his mind was to get Uriah home to his wife for a few days, that it might be thought the child she had conceived was his, whereby the sin of David, and her own, might be concealed:

and Joab sent Uriah to David;
not knowing his business, and besides it was his duty to obey his command.

4 E Davide inviò gente a prenderla; ed ella venne da lui, ed egli si giacque con lei, che si era purificata della sua contaminazione; poi ella se ne tornò a casa sua.

5 La donna rimase incinta, e lo fece sapere a Davide, dicendo: "Sono incinta".

6 Allora Davide fece dire a Joab: "Mandami Uria, lo Hitteo". E Joab mandò Uria da Davide.

7 Come Uria fu giunto da Davide, questi gli chiese come stessero Joab ed il popolo, e come andasse la guerra.

8 Poi Davide disse ad Uria: "Scendi a casa tua e làvati i piedi". Uria uscì dal palazzo reale, e gli furon portate appresso delle vivande del re.
