2 Samuel 11:13 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

When David had called him, i.e. being invited by David. He made him drunk, or, he made him merry, as the word oft signifies. He caused him to drink more than was convenient. He went out to lie on his bed; which it doth not appear that he did the night before; but now his excess in eating and drinking might make it more necessary for him. With the servants of his lord, i.e. in some chamber in the king's court, where the king's servants used to take their repose.

2 Samuel 11:13

13 And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.
