2 Samuel 11:5 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 11:5

And the woman conceived
Whereby the sin would be discovered, and shame, and disgrace, or worse, would follow upon it:

and sent and told David, and said, I [am] with child;
this message she sent to David, that he might think of some ways and means to prevent the scandal that would fall both upon him and her, and the danger she was exposed unto; fearing the outcries of the people against her, in acting so unfaithful a part to her husband, so brave a man, who was now fighting for his king and country; and the rage and jealousy of her husband when he should come to the knowledge of it, and the death which by the law she was guilty of, even to be stoned with stones, see ( John 8:5 ) .

2 Samuel 11:5 In-Context

3 Tendo Davi enviado a indagar a respeito daquela mulher, disseram-lhe: Porventura não é Bate-Seba, filha de Eliã, mulher de Urias, o heteu?

4 Então Davi mandou mensageiros para trazê-la; e ela veio a ele, e ele se deitou com ela (pois já estava purificada da sua imundícia); depois ela voltou para sua casa.

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.
