David said, Go down to thy house Not doubting but he would there converse with his wife, and so hide their sin and shame. There followed him a mess of meat from the king In token of David's peculiar favour and kindness to him; and that, eating freely of good cheer, he might be the more desirous of enjoying the company of his wife. But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house Like a true soldier, he lay all night in the guard-chamber, and did not go home to his wife. This he did by the secret influence of God upon his mind, and the order of his wise providence, that David's sin might be brought to light notwithstanding all his contrivances to conceal it.
