Contextual Overview

⁶ Then sent David unto Joab, Send unto me Uriah the Hittite. So Joab sent Uriah unto David. ⁷ And, when Uriah had come in unto him, David asked - how Joab prospered, and how the people prospered, and how the war prospered. ⁸ Then said David unto Uriah, Go down unto thy house, and bathe thy feet. And, when Uriah went out of the house of the king, there followed him, a present from the king. ⁹ But Uriah slept at the entrance of the king's house, with all the servants of his lord, - and went not down unto his own house. ¹⁰ And it was told David, saying, Uriah went not down, unto his own house. So David said unto Uriah - Was it not, from a journey, thou didst come? why, then, hast thou not been down unto thine own house? ¹¹ And Uriah said unto David - The ark, and Israel and Judah, are dwelling in huts and, my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, on the face of the field, are encamped, Was, I, then, to enter my own house, to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? By thy life, yea by the life of thy soul, I could not do this thing. ¹² Then said David unto Uriah - Abide here to-day also, and, to-morrow, will I let thee go. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow. ¹³ And David called him, and he did eat before him, and drank, and he made him drunk, - and he went forth in the evening to lie down on his bed, with the servants of his lord, but, unto his own house, went he not down.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And David sent to Joab,.... Who was with the army besieging Rabbah, which, according to Bunting k, was sixty four miles from Jerusalem:

[saying], send me Uriah the Hittite; the scheme David had contrived in his mind was to get Uriah home to his wife for a few days, that it might be thought the child she had conceived was his, whereby the sin of David, and her own, might be concealed:

and Joab sent Uriah to David; not knowing his business, and besides it was his duty to obey his command.
