7 and Uriah cometh unto him, and David asketh of the prosperity of Joab, and of the prosperity of the people, and of the prosperity of the war.

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.
