Washing the feet was customary after a journey and before retiring to sleep. Gen 18:4<\/span>; Gen 19:2<\/span>. But the king’s real design was to have Uriah pass the night with his wife, that the child already conceived by her might not be regarded as the fruit of their adultery. <\/p>\n There followed him a mess <\/strong> As a royal present to convince him of the king’s affection for him. Very likely David feared that his sin was known or suspected, for the guilty soul is ever clouded with such suspicions.<\/p>\n 2Sa 11:8 And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet.

But Uriah slept at the door of the kings house Like a true soldier, he lay all night in the guard-chamber, and did not go home to his wife.
