SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:18
Entonces envió Joab, e hizo saber a David todos los negocios de la guerra.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. Then Joab sent , etc.] Messengers to David, as soon as Uriah was killed: and told David all the things concerning the war ; how the siege had been carried on; what success they had had, good or ill; what their advantages and disadvantages; what men they had lost, and especially in one sally of the enemy upon them, for the sake of which the express was sent.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 14-27 - Adulteries often occasion murders, and one wickedness is sought to be covered by another. The beginnings of sin are much to be dreaded; for who knows where they will end? Can a real believer ever tread thi path? Can such a person be indeed a child of God? Though grace be no lost in such an awful case, the assurance and consolation of it must be suspended. All David's life, spirituality, and comfort in religion, we may be sure were lost. No man in such a case can have evidence to be satisfied that he is a believer. The higher a man's confidence is, wh has sunk in wickedness, the greater his presumption and hypocrisy. Le not any one who resembles David in nothing but his transgressions bolster up his confidence with this example. Let him follow David in his humiliation, repentance, and his other eminent graces, before he thinks himself only a backslider, and not a hypocrite. Let no oppose of the truth say, These are the fruits of faith! No; they are the effects of corrupt nature. Let us all watch against the beginnings of self-indulgence, and keep at the utmost distance from all evil. But with the Lord there is mercy and plenteous redemption. He will cast ou no humble, penitent believer; nor will he suffer Satan to pluck his sheep out of his hand. Yet the Lord will recover his people, in such way as will mark his abhorrence of their crimes, to hinder all wh regard his word from abusing the encouragements of his mercy __________________________________________________________________
