2Sa 11:12 And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.
Ver. 12. Tarry here today also.] All this was the worse in David, because done upon deliberation, and in cold blood, seeking a cover for his sin, plotting and ploughing up further wickedness, not leaving till he had wiped off all his comfortables. {Psa 51:1-19} Take heed that your hearts be not hardened by the deceitfulness of sin, {Heb 3:13} those sensual sins especially, - those "fleshly lusts that war against the soul," {1Pe 2:11} that "take away the heart," {Hos 4:11} that disable nature, and so set it in a far greater distance from grace, which is seated in the powers of nature.

2Sa 11:12-13. Tarry here to-day — He pretended still more kindness to him in giving him time to rest himself after his journey; and perhaps pretended also that he could not sooner finish the despatches which he intended to send by him to Joab. When David had called him in — Invited him to supper the night before he went away. And he made him drunk — He made him merry, as the Hebrew word often signifies. He caused him to drink more than was proper. What mean and shameful contrivances did David employ against this brave man! How base is sin, how low it will make men stoop, and what vile and unworthy things it will induce them to do! This was a great addition, to David’s sin, that by one evil he endeavoured to effect another; by intoxicating Uriah he strove to make him forget his oath before mentioned.
