2 Samuel11:4
4 And David sent messengers, and took her , and she came in unto him , and he lay with her ( for she was purified from her uncleanness) and she returned unto her house.
From her own House into his Palace, not by force, but by perswasion, as desiring to speak with her.
Into his Palace and Chamber, as he desired.
To wit, from her menstruous Pollution, according to the Law, Levit. 18. 19. Which is here noted, as the reason, either why David pursued his Lustful desire; or why she so easily yielded to it, because she was not under that Pollution which might alienate her from it; or rather, why she so readily conceived, that time being observed by Aristotle and others, to be the most likely time for Conception.
Marginal references: Psal. 51. title.; Heb. and she was purifying her self from her uncleanness. So Gr.; * Lev. 15. 19. and 18. 19.
