Contextual Overview
6 David sent a message to Joab: "Send Uriah the Hittite to me." Joab sent Uriah 7 to David's palace, and David asked him, "Is Joab well? How is the army doing? And how about the war?" 8 Then David told Uriah, "Go home and clean up." Uriah left the king's palace, and David had dinner sent to Uriah's house. 9 But Uriah didn't go home. Instead, he slept outside the entrance to the royal palace, where the king's guards slept. 10 Someone told David that Uriah had not gone home. So the next morning David asked him, "Why didn't you go home? Haven't you been away for a long time?" 11 Uriah answered, "The sacred chest and the armies of Israel and Judah are camping out somewhere in the fields with our commander Joab and his officers and troops. Do you really think I would go home to eat and drink and sleep with my wife? I swear by your life that I would not!" 12 Then David said, "Stay here in Jerusalem today, and I will send you back tomorrow." Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day. Then the next day, 13 David invited him for dinner. Uriah ate with David and drank so much that he got drunk, but he still did not go home. He went out and slept on his mat near the palace guards.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when David had called him,.... Invited him to sup with him:
he did eat and drink before him; very freely and plentifully:
and he made him drunk: this was another sin of David's, done in order to make him forget his oath and vow, and that being inflamed with wine, desires might be excited in him to go home and lie with his wife; but even this scheme did not succeed:
and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord: in the guard room, where he had lain before:
but went not down to his house; for he was not so drunk but he remembered his oath, and kept his resolution not to go down to his own house; the Lord no doubt working upon his mind and disinclining him to it.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 11:13. He made him drunk — Supposing that in this state he would have been off his guard, and hastened down to his house.
