11 Uriah said to David , " The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in temporary shelters , and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are camping in the open field . Shall I then go to my house to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife ? By your life and the life of your soul , I will not do this thing ."

Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 11:11

Commentary on 2 Samuel 11:6-13

(Read 2 Samuel 11:6-13)

Giving way to sin hardens the heart, and provokes the departure of the Holy Spirit. Robbing a man of his reason, is worse than robbing him of his money; and drawing him into sin, is worse than drawing him into any wordly trouble whatever.
