Contextual Overview
14 And so it was, in the morning, that David wrote a letter unto Joab, - and sent it by the hand of Uriah; 15 and he wrote in the letter, saying, - Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he be smitten and die. 16 So it came to pass, when Joab was laying siege to the city, that he put Uriah in the place where he knew that the men of valour, were. 17 And forth sallied the men of the city, and fought with Joab, and there fell some of the people, of the servants of David, - then died also, Uriah the Hittite. 18 So Joab sent and told David all the news of the battle; 19 and he charged the messenger saying, - When thou hast ended all the news of the battle, in speaking unto the king, 20 then shall it be, if the king's anger arise, and he say unto thee, Why came ye near unto the city, to fight? Knew ye not, that they would shoot from off the wall? 21 Who smote Abimelech son of Jerubbaal? Did not, a woman, cast on him an upper millstone from off the wall, that he died, in Thebez? Wherefore came ye near unto the wall? Then shalt thou say - Moreover, thy servant, Uriah the Hittite, died. 22 And the messenger went his way, - and came in, and told David, all that Joab had sent him to tell . 23 And the messenger said unto David, The men were too strong for us, and sallied forth against us, in the field, - so we were drawn against them as far as the opening 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-shebaâs 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."
