What does 2 Samuel 11:6 mean?

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on 2 Samuel 11:6-13
Giving way to sin hardens the heart, and provokes the departure of the Holy Spirit. Robbing a man of his reason, is worse than robbing him of his money; and drawing him into sin, is worse than drawing him into any wordly trouble whatever.
