Lesson 69

David’s Sin with Bathsheba

Sin has consequences. We’re going to look at David’s sin by reviewing the Ten Commandments particularly the last five. I plan to look at how one sin led to another.

David:

Coveted another man’s wife.

Stole Bathsheba from her husband.

Commited Adultery with Bathsheba.

Lied – by deceiving Uriah, Bathsheba’s husband.

Arranged for Uriah to be placed at the front of a battle where he’d be more likely to be Killed.

Nathan the prophet tells David a parable of a poor man’s ewe lamb.

David is appalled at the rich man Nathan tells him the meaning of the parable. He also tells David that he will have trouble with his wives and children because of his sin.

David truly repents of his sin and God forgives him. David wrote Psalm 51 after this.
