King James Translators' Notes

Bathsheba: or, Bathshuah

Eliam: or Ammiel

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

3. one said-literally, "he said to himself,"

Is not this Bath-sheba? &c.-She seems to have been a celebrated beauty, whose renown had already reached the ears of David, as happens in the East, from reports carried by the women from harem to harem.

Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam-or Ammiel (1Ch 3:5), one of David's worthies (2Sa 23:34), and son of Ahithophel.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

11:1-5 Observe the occasions of David's sin; what led to it. 1. Neglect of his business. He tarried at Jerusalem. When we are out of the way of our duty, we are in temptation. 2. Love of ease: idleness gives great advantage to the tempter. 3. A wandering eye. He had not, like Job, made a covenant with his eyes, or, at this time, he had forgotten it. And observe the steps of the sin. See how the way of sin is down-hill; when men begin to do evil, they cannot soon stop. Observe the aggravations of the sin. How could David rebuke or punish that in others, of which he was conscious that he himself was guilty?
