Explanation

David committed adultery with Bathsheba the wife of Uriah, a soldier of David's army. When David heard that Bathsheba was pregnant, he invited Uriah from battle field so that if he slept with his wife the child would be considered his. Uriah refused to go down to his house when ordered by David, because the ark and all Israel dwelt in booths. This means that it was wrong for soldiers to sleep with women in times of war. David then arranged with Joab and Uriah was placed in the hottest part of the battle with the Ammonites and died. God was displeased with David's action and sent the prophet Nathan to rebuke him. 2 Samuel 11, 12:1-25
