King David loved women and his strong sex drive led
him to make sinful choices. One such time was when he saw Bathsheba
taking a bath on her roof patio. He was enamored with her beautiful
naked body and supercharged lust caused him to disregard the fact
that she was married to Uriah, one of his most faithful soldiers. A
one night stand resulted in a pregnancy, which led to a cover up and
host of other evils. David was bound in sin and did not care that he
had coveted another man's wife. His unbridled desire gave way to
adultery and produced a bastard child. David ultimately had Uriah
killed to protect his secret and got a false sense of relief when he
received confirmation of Uriah's death from Joab. He thought his
sins were effectively hidden and Bathsheba was added to David's
harem. All the pieces seemed to fall in place until God sent Nathan
to confront the unrepentant king and David's eyes were opened to his
wicked and malevolent behavior. A one night stand resulted in
pregnancy, lying, murder, the death of an innocent child and a curse
upon David and his descendants. Sin may seem like fun but there is
always a price to pay. |
