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 Cuando Urías llegó, David le preguntó cómo estaban Joab y el ejército, y cómo marchaba la guerra.
8 Después le dijo a Urías: «Ve a tu casa a descansar».
David incluso le envió un regalo a Urías apenas este dejó el palacio.
9 Pero Urías no fue a su casa, sino que durmió esa noche a la entrada del palacio con la guardia real.
10 Al enterarse David de que Urías no había ido a su casa, lo mandó llamar y le preguntó:
—¿Qué pasa? ¿Por qué no fuiste anoche a tu casa después de haber estado fuera por tanto tiempo?
11 Urías le contestó:
—El arca y el ejército de Israel y el de Judá están viviendo en carpas,
y Joab y los hombres de mi señor están acampando a cielo abierto. ¿Cómo podría yo ir a casa para beber, comer y dormir con mi esposa? Juro que jamás haría semejante cosa.
