2 Samuel 11:6
And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
And David sent to Joab,.... Who was with the army besieging Rabbah, which, according to Bunting {k}, was sixty four miles from Jerusalem:
saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite; the scheme David had contrived in his mind was to get Uriah home to his wife for a few days, that it might be thought the child she had conceived was his, whereby the sin of David, and her own, might be concealed:
And Joab sent Uriah to David; not knowing his business, and besides it was his duty to obey his command.
