TSK - 2 SAMUEL 11

  1  While Joab besieges Rabbah, David commits adultery with
    Bath-sheba.
 6  Uriah, sent for by David to cover the adultery, would not
    go home.
14  He carries to Joab the letter of his death.
18  Joab sends the news thereof to David.
26  David takes Bath-sheba to wife.


VERSE 1
- A.M. 2969.  B.C. 1035.  An. Ex. Is. 456.  after the year,
  etc.  Heb. at the return of the year.
   * 1Ki 20:22,26 2Ch 36:10 Ec 3:8
- at the time.
  The sacred historian seems to intimate that there was one
  particular time of the year to which military operations were
  limited; and Josephus informs us that this took place in the
  beginning of spring.  In another part of his works he says,
  that as soon as spring was begun, Adad levied and led forth
  his army against the Hebrews.  Antiochus also prepared to
  invade Judea at the first appearance of spring; and Vespasian
  marched to Antipatris at the commencement of the same season.
  The kings and armies of the East, says Chardin, do not march
  but when there is grass, and when they can encamp, which is in
  April.  This rule, however, seems to be disregarded in modern
  times.

VERSE 14 
 - wrote a letter.
  It was resolved in David's breast that Uriah must die--that
  innocent, valiant, and gallant man, who was ready to sacrifice
  his life for the honor of his prince; and, worse than all, by
  being himself made the bearer of letters to Joab which
  prescribed the mode by which he was to be murdered.  This was
  the greatest treachery and villany on the part of David; while
  Joab appears to enter as fully upon the execution of the
  murder, being perhaps pleased to have this opportunity of
  further enthralling his king, and thus increasing his own
  power.

  got a king for her husband:  and therefore, {Lacrymas non
  sponte cadentes effudit; gemitusque expressit pectore laeto;}
  "She shed reluctant tears; and forced out groans from a joyful
