9<\/strong>. Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house<\/em> ] Probably in the guard chamber in the outer court. Cp. 1Ki 14:27-28<\/span>.<\/p>\n Verse 9<\/span>. Slept at the door<\/B><\/I>] That is, in one of the apartments or niches in the court of the king’s house. But in Bengal servants and others generally sleep on the verandahs or porches in face of their master’s house.<\/P> <\/p>\n With all the servants of his lord; <\/B>with the kings guard. This he did, either upon some suspicion of the matter; see 2Sa 11:7<\/span> or by the secret direction of Gods wise and irresistible providence, who would bring Davids sin to light. <\/P> <\/p>\n 9. But Uriah slept at the door ofthe king’s house<\/B>It is customary for servants to sleep in theporch or long gallery; and the guards of the Hebrew king did thesame. Whatever his secret suspicions might have been, Uriah’s refusalto indulge in the enjoyment of domestic pleasure, and hisdetermination to sleep “at the door of the king’s house,”arose from a high and honorable sense of military duty and propriety(2Sa 11:11<\/span>). But, doubtless,the resolution of Uriah was overruled by that Providence which bringsgood out of evil, and which has recorded this sad episode for thewarning of the church. <\/P> 2Sa11:14-27<\/span>. URIAH SLAIN.<\/P><\/p>\n But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house, with all the servants of his lord<\/strong>,…. The bodyguards, which were placed there to watch the palace in the night season; Uriah first fell into a conversation with these as is highly probable, to whom he was well known, and who might inquire of one and another of their friends in the army; and he being weary, laid himself down among there, and slept:<\/p>\n and went not down to his house<\/strong>; whether the trifling questions David asked him, or the information the guards might give him of his wife being sent for to court; made him suspect something, and so had no inclination to go to this own house; or however so it was ordered by the providence of God, which directed him to act in this manner, that the sin of David and Bathsheba they studied to hide might be discovered.<\/p>\n (9) At the door of the kings house.<\/strong>Probably in the guard chamber at the entrance of the palace. (Comp. 1Ki. 14:27-28<\/span>.) It is quite unnecessary to suppose that Uriah had any suspicion of what had been done. His conduct and language is simply that of a brave, frank, generous-hearted soldier.<\/p>\n (9) But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Whether Uriah had any apprehensions about him, concerning his wife’s fidelity; or whether, as a soldier, he did not choose to separate from the rest of the king’s guards; or whether the Lord overruled this business, so that David’s guilt might be more palpable and glaring, I take not upon me to say. But so it was, that Uriah did not go home to his house that night.<\/p>\n 2Sa 11:9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.<\/p>\n Ver. 9. But Uriah slept at the door, &c.<\/strong> ] This was much; but it is like he smelt something: and God had a hand in it. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And went not down to his house.<\/strong> ] Though much urged thereunto by his fair but false wife, very likely. <\/p>\n “ Lis est cum forma magna pudicitiae.<\/em> ”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n And some think that there might be some discord betwixt Uriah and his wife before for her seeming levity, he feared she was sick of a pleurisy.<\/p>\n door = entrance. <\/p>\n Job 5:12-14, Pro 21:30 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 2Sa 11:13 – with the servants<\/p>\n But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house. 9. Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house ] Probably in the guard chamber in the outer court. Cp. 1Ki 14:27-28.
