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 los soldados, y cómo iba la campaña.
8 Luego le dijo: «Vete a tu casa y acuéstate con tu mujer». Tan pronto como salió del palacio, Urías recibió un regalo de parte del rey,
9 pero en vez de irse a su propia casa, se acostó a la entrada del palacio, donde dormía la guardia real.
10 David se enteró de que Urías no había ido a su casa, así que le preguntó:—Has hecho un viaje largo; ¿por qué no fuiste a tu casa?
11 —En este momento —respondió Urías—, tanto el arca como los hombres de Israel y de Judá se guarecen en simples enramadas, y mi señor Joab y sus oficiales acampan al aire libre, ¿y yo voy a entrar en mi casa para darme un banquete y acostarme con mi esposa? ¡Tan cierto como que Su Majestad vive, que yo no puedo hacer tal cosa!
