2 Samuel 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 Samuel 11:15 In-Context

13 David lo invitó a un banquete y logró emborracharlo. A pesar de eso, Urías no fue a su casa sino que volvió a pasar la noche donde dormía la guardia real.
14 A la mañana siguiente, David le escribió una carta a Joab, y se la envió por medio de Urías.
15 La carta decía: «Pongan a Urías al frente de la batalla, donde la lucha sea más dura. Luego déjenlo solo, para que lo hieran y lo maten».
16 Por tanto, cuando Joab ya había sitiado la ciudad, puso a Urías donde sabía que estaban los defensores más aguerridos.
17 Los de la ciudad salieron para enfrentarse a Joab, y entre los oficiales de David que cayeron en batalla también perdió la vida Urías el hitita.
