Commentary on 2 Samuel 11:4

Theological / Devotional

Took her. There is no indication that David’s messengers took Bath-sheba by force. Bath-sheba was beautiful, and she was not beyond temptation. Possibly she was flattered by the overtures made to her by the king, and yielded herself to David without resistance.

She was purified. See Lev. 15:19, 28.
