7 And when Uriah came to him, David put questions to him about how Joab and the people were, and how the war was going.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 11:7

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.
