Joab fought against Rabbah--The time during which this siege lasted, since the intercourse with Bath-sheba, and the birth of at least one child, if not two, occurred during the progress of it, probably extended over two years.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Herein he showed himself a faithful servant, that sought his master's honour, and his own only in subordination to his, and left an example to the servants of the Lord Jesus, in every thing they do, to consult his honour. Not unto us, but to thy name, give glory.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the L ORD . And Nathan said unto David, The L ORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. 14 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the L ORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
