2 Samuele 11:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 11:15

And he wrote in the letter, saying
Giving the following orders to Joab:

set ye Uriah is the forefront of the hottest battle:
over against that part of the city where the enemy was strongest, and the battle the fiercest, and the stones and arrows were cast the thickest:

and retire ye from him;
leave him to himself to combat the enemy alone; who seeing him deserted, would sally out upon him, and the few that might be with him, and slay him:

that he may be smitten, and die;
thus he sought to add murder to adultery, and that in the basest manner, and which he accomplished; and this is often the case, that murder follows adultery, either by way of revenge for it, or in order to cover it, as here.

2 Samuele 11:15 In-Context

13 E Davide l’invitò; ed egli mangiò e bevve in presenza di esso, ed egli l’inebbriò; ma pure in su la sera egli uscì fuori per giacer nel suo letto, co’ servitori del suo signore, e non iscese a casa sua.
14 E la mattina seguente, Davide scrisse una lettera a Ioab, e gliela mandò per Uria.
15 E nella lettera scrisse in questa maniera: Ponete Uria dirincontro alla più aspra battaglia; poi ritraetevi indietro da lui, acciocchè egli sia percosso, e muoia.
16 Ioab adunque, tenendo l’assedio alla città, pose Uria in un luogo dove sapeva che vi erano uomini di valore.
17 E la gente della città uscì, e combattè contro a Ioab; ed alcuni del popolo, de’ servitori di Davide, caddero morti; Uria Hitteo morì anch’esso.
