2 Samuel 11:6 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 11:6

4 Then David sent messengers, and took her; and she came to him, and ^ahe lay with her, for she was ^bcleansed from her impurity; and she returned to her house.

5 And the woman conceived; so she sent and told David, and said, “I am with child.”

6 Then David sent to Joab, saying, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” And Joab sent Uriah to David.

7 When Uriah had come to him, David asked how Joab was doing, and how the people were doing, and how the war prospered.

8 And David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and ^awash your feet.” So Uriah departed from the king’s house, and a gift of food from the king followed him.
