2 Samuel 11:7 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 11:7

And when Uriah was come unto him
To David, to whom he came first, before he went to his own house, desirous of knowing what was the special business of the king with him:

David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how
the war prospered;
he asked of the welfare of Joab the general, and of the common soldiers, and of the warriors, as the Targum, the mighty men that went along with Joab, ( 2 Samuel 10:7 ) ( 11:1 ) . David seems to have been at a loss what to say to him. These questions were so mean and trivial, that it might justly give Uriah some suspicion that it could never he on this account, that he was sent for; since David could not want intelligence of such things, expresses being daily sending him.

2 Samuel 11:7 In-Context

5 Or cette femme conçut, et elle envoya l'annoncer à David, en lui disant: Je suis enceinte.

6 Alors David fit dire à Joab: Envoie-moi Urie, le Héthien. Joab envoya donc Urie vers David.

7 Et Urie vint à lui, et David l'interrogea sur l'état de Joab et du peuple, et sur l'état de la guerre.

8 Puis David dit à Urie: Descends dans ta maison et te lave les pieds. Urie sortit donc de la maison du roi, et il fut suivi d'un présent royal.

9 Mais Urie dormit à la porte de la maison du roi, avec tous les serviteurs de son seigneur, et ne descendit point dans sa maison.
