Commentary on 2 Samuel 11:24

Theological / Devotional

Shot from off the wall. Uriah and his men probably approached so close to the wall that they became the target not only of the arrows of the archers but of any type of missile that might be hurled against them (see v. 21). In making such an approach the Israelites would of course have known exactly what to expect, and in thus exposing themselves to danger they could justly be accused of carelessness.
