Shmuel Bais 11:26 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 11:26

And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was
dead
The news of which were soon sent her by David, though it is very probable she knew nothing of the plot to take away his life; and, besides, David chose to have his death published abroad as soon as possible, the more to hide his sin:

she mourned for her husband;
expressed tokens of mourning by shedding tears, putting on a mourning habit, seeing no company, and this continued for the space of seven days, it may be, ( 1 Samuel 31:13 ) ; as little time as possible was spent in this way, and the marriage hastened, that the adultery might not be discovered.
