2 Samuel11:13

13 And when David had called him , he did eat and drink before him, and he made him drunk : and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord , but went not down to his house.

i. e. Being invited by David.

Or, he made him merry, as the Word oft signifies. He caused him to Drink more than was convenient.

Which it doth not appear, that he did the Night before; but now his Excess in Eating and Drinking, might make it more necessary for him.

i. e. In some Chamber in the King's Court, where the Kings Servants used to take their Repose.
