6 Then David sent men to Joab, saying, "Send me Uriah the Hittite." So Joab sent Uriah to David. 7 When Uriah came to him, David asked how Joab and the people were doing, and how the war was going. 8 Then David said to Uriah, "Go down to your house, and wash your feet." And Uriah left the king's house, and a gift from the king was sent to him. 9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord. He did not go down to his house. 10 When they told David that Uriah did not go down to his house, David said to Uriah, "Have you not returned from traveling a long way? Why did you not go down to your house?" 11 Uriah said to David, "The special box of the Lord, and Israel and Judah, are staying in tents. My lord Joab and the servants of my lord are staying in the open field. Should I go to my house to eat and drink and lie with my wife? By your life and the life of your soul, I will not do this thing." 12 Then David said to Uriah, "Stay here today also. Tomorrow I will let you go." So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and the next. 13 David called him, and he ate and drank with him, and David made him drunk. In the evening Uriah went out to lie on his bed with his lord's servants. He did not go down to his house.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when they had told David,.... The next morning, either those that went with the mess of meat, or the guards with whom he slept all night:
saying, Uriah went not down to his house; as the king had ordered him; which those persons being acquainted with, informed him of it, as an act of disobedience to him:
David said unto Uriah; having sent for him upon the above information:
camest thou not from [thy] journey? and which was a long one of sixty four miles, as before observed and therefore might well be weary, and want refreshment and rest, and his own house was the most proper place for it; for which reason David suggests he had sent him thither, and did not require nor need his service among his guards:
why [then] didst thou not go down unto thine house? which was the fittest place for him in such circumstances.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 11:10. Camest thou not from thy journey? — It is not thy duty to keep watch or guard; thou art come from a journey, and needest rest and refreshment.
