Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the elders of his house arose, [and went] to him, to raise him up from the earth,.... To persuade him to rise up, and sit upon a seat, and go to bed, after having taken some food; these were some of the chief officers at court, and had the management of the affairs of his household:
but he would not; they could not persuade him to it:
neither did he eat bread with them; that evening, as he had used to do; they being the princes of his court, who were wont to sit at table with him.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The death of the infant child of one of the numerous harem of an Oriental monarch would in general be a matter of little moment to the father. The deep feeling shown by David on this occasion is both an indication of his affectionate and tender nature, and also a proof of the strength of his passion for Bath-sheba. He went into his most private chamber, his closet Matthew 6:6, and “lay upon the earth†2 Samuel 13:31, rather “the ground,†meaning the floor of his chamber as opposed to his couch.
