Footnotes
- 9 Heb “and David sent messengers and he took her.”
- 10 Heb “he lay with her” (so , ); “he made love to her”; , , “he slept with her.”
- 11 The parenthetical disjunctive clause further heightens the tension by letting the reader know that Bathsheba, having just completed her menstrual cycle, is ripe for conception. See P. K. McCarter, II Samuel (), . Since she just had her period, it will also be obvious to those close to the scene that Uriah, who has been away fighting, cannot be the father of the child.
