2 Samuel12:24
24 And David comforted Bath sheba his wife , and went in unto her , and lay with her: and she bare a son and he called his name Solomon; and the LORD loved him .
Who was now much dejected, both for her former Sin which she truly Repented of, as may be gathered from Prov. 31. 1, 2, 3, &c. and for the loss of that Child which was very dear to her, and which might seem to be the onely tie of David's Affection to her; which being now dead, she might think that David would utterly cast her off, and leave her to that Shame and Punishment which she had deserved.
To wit, into her Chamber or Bed.
i. e. The Lord declared to David, that he loved his Son, notwithstanding the just cause which David had given to God to alienate his Affections from him.
