What Does 2 Samuel 11:22 Mean?
The messenger travels to Jerusalem and lays before David the full report Joab entrusted to him. The machinery of the cover-up turns smoothly; word reaches the king as planned.
Everything proceeds as arranged, and yet the smoothness is itself a kind of horror, a crime carried off without a hitch. Human schemes can look successful and still be utterly condemned in heaven. The closing verse of the chapter will pierce this calm with a few plain words about how the Lord regarded it all. For now the report is delivered, but the final reckoning belongs not to messengers and kings but to God.
