2 Samuel11:7
7 And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered ?
Frivolous Questions which any common Messenger could have answered: which probably made Uriah suspect that there was some other secret cause why he was sent for. And he might understand something, either by David's Messengers, v. 4. or by some of his own Family, concerning her being sent for to the Court: which together with other Circumstances might give him cause of further suspition. Yet such might be the Questions (though not here particularly mentioned) concerning those Heads, as every private person might not be acquainted with, nor able to resolve, but such onely as were acquainted with the Counsel of War.
