2 Samuel 11:26

Compare all

24 The archers shot from the wall at your servants; and some of the king’s servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.”

25 Then David said to the messenger, “Thus you shall say to Joab: ‘Do not let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Strengthen your attack against the city, and overthrow it.’ So encourage him.”

26 When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.

27 And when her mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and she ^abecame his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done ^bdispleased the Lord.

2 Samuel 11:26

She mourned for her husband - The whole of her conduct indicates that she observed the form without feeling the power of sorrow.

She lost a captain and got a king for her spouse; this must have been deep affliction indeed: and therefore: -

- Lachrymas non sponte cadentes Effudit;

gemitusque expressit pectore laeto .

"She shed reluctant tears,

and forced out groans from a joyful heart.
