Contextual Overview
14The next morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah. 15In the letter he wrote: "Put Uriah at the front of the fiercest battle; then withdraw from him, so that he may be struck down and die." 16So as Joab besieged the city, he assigned Uriah to a place where he saw the strongest enemy soldiers. 17And when the men of the city came out and fought against Joab, some of David's servants fell, and Uriah the Hittite also died. 18Joab sent to David a full account of the battle 19and instructed the messenger, "When you have finished giving the king all the details of the battle, 20if the king's anger flares, he may ask you, 'Why did you get so close to the city to fight? Did you not realize they would shoot from atop the wall? 21Who was the one to strike Abimelech son of Jerubbesheth? Was it not a woman who dropped an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died in Thebez? Why did you get so close to the wall?' If so, then you are to say, 'Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead as well.'" 22So the messenger set out and reported to David all that Joab had sent him to say. 23The messenger said to David, "The men overpowered us and came out against us in the field, but we drove them back to the entrance of the gate.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead,.... The news of which were soon sent her by David, though it is very probable she knew nothing of the plot to take away his life; and, besides, David chose to have his death published abroad as soon as possible, the more to hide his sin:
she mourned for her husband; expressed tokens of mourning by shedding tears, putting on a mourning habit, seeing no company, and this continued for the space of seven days, it may be, 1 Samuel 31:13; as little time as possible was spent in this way, and the marriage hastened, that the adultery might not be discovered.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Bath-sheba’s mourning, like that of Abigail 1 Samuel 25:39-42, was probably limited to the customary time of seven days.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 11:26. She mourned for her husband. — The whole of her conduct indicates that she observed the form without feeling the power of sorrow. She lost a captain and got a king for her spouse; this must have been deep affliction indeed: and therefore: -
_____ Lachrymas non sponte cadentes
Effudit; gemitusque expressit pectore laeto.
"She shed reluctant tears, and forced out groans from a joyful heart."
