Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Samuel 11:27

27 And when the mourning was past , David sent and [illegible: 1+ letters]et her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son : but the thing that David had done , displeased the LORD.

Which was seven days, Gen. 50. 10. 1 Sam. 31. 13. Nor could the nature of the thing admit of longer delay, lest the too early birth of the Child might discover David's Sin.

By which it appears, That David continued in the state of Impenitency for divers Months together; and this notwithstanding his frequent attendance upon God's Ordinances. Which is an eminent instance of the Corruption of Man's Nature which is even in the best; and, without Divine Assistance, is too strong for them; of the deceitfulness of Sin, and of the tremendous Judgment of God in punishing one Sin, by delivering a man up to another.

i. e. His Adultery and Murder, as is evident from the next Chapter.
