2 Samuel 11:9 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 11:9

But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house, with all the
servants of his lord
The bodyguards, which were placed there to watch the palace in the night season; Uriah first fell into a conversation with these as is highly probable, to whom he was well known, and who might inquire of one and another of their friends in the army; and he being weary, laid himself down among there, and slept:

and went not down to his house;
whether the trifling questions David asked him, or the information the guards might give him of his wife being sent for to court; made him suspect something, and so had no inclination to go to this own house; or however so it was ordered by the providence of God, which directed him to act in this manner, that the sin of David and Bathsheba they studied to hide might be discovered.

2 Samuel 11:9 In-Context

7 et venit Urias ad David quaesivitque David quam recte ageret Ioab et populus et quomodo administraretur bellum

8 et dixit David ad Uriam vade in domum tuam et lava pedes tuos egressus est Urias de domo regis secutusque est eum cibus regius

9 dormivit autem Urias ante portam domus regiae cum aliis servis domini sui et non descendit ad domum suam

10 nuntiatumque est David a dicentibus non ivit Urias ad domum suam et ait David ad Uriam numquid non de via venisti quare non descendisti ad domum tuam

11 et ait Urias ad David arca et Israhel et Iuda habitant in papilionibus et dominus meus Ioab et servi domini mei super faciem terrae manent et ego ingrediar domum meam ut comedam et bibam et dormiam cum uxore mea per salutem tuam et per salutem animae tuae quod non faciam rem hanc
