David and Bathsheba - In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab out with the king’s men and the whole Israelite army. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem. One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, and David sent ...
Verse 2. - David arose from off his bed. It was usual in Palestine, and remains so in all hot countries, to take a siesta in the heat of the day (2 Samuel 4:5); and, on awaking, David walked backward and forward on the fiat roof of his house (1 Samuel 9:25), to enjoy the cool breezes of the evening.
Jun 1, 2004 · I have chosen to expound these chapters in three lessons. This first lesson will deal with “David and Bathsheba,” as described in 11:1-4. In the following lesson, we will address the subject of “David and Uriah,” as told by our author in 11:5-27. The third lesson will focus on “David and Nathan,” as this confrontation is put forth ...

What do you like to do in the spring time? Sailing, hiking or planting flowers? Maybe you like to go camping after the snow is gone and leaves are budding on the trees. Spring is a beautiful time of the year but for David and our next woman, Bathsheba, the words “spring time” mean something quite different. David and Bathsheba. Their names are fore...
A. Sin
2 Samuel 11:1 In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab out with the king’s men and the whole Israelite army. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem. This is one of the saddest verses in all the bible to me, in fact, I cringe when I hear these words: “In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war…..” Our story in placed right in the middle of war. The previous chapter tells us that David and his army have been fightin...
B. Cover-Up And Murder
David sets in motion a plan to cover-up this affair. 2 Samuel 11:6 So David sent this word to Joab: “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” And Joab sent him to David. He works really hard to pass the child off as Uriah’s. He questions Uriah with “what’s going on in the battle?” Then David sends him home to hopefully sleep with Bathsheba. But no, Uriah whose name means “Yahweh is my light” 5is an honorable man; he stays at the palace sleeping near the servants and does not go to his house. His reason? 2...
A. Confrontation And Consequences
Life in the palace seems calm for a season. David and Bathsheba are married. Their son is born and all is peaceful until Nathan the prophet shows up with a message from God. He tells David a parable that appeals to his heart as a shepherd and king. 2 Samuel 12:4This rich man had lots of lambs but he stole a precious little lamb from a poor man and cooked it for his house guest. David was righteously upset with the rich man until Nathan said to him You are the man, although you’re not going to...
B. Bathsheba Request To David
Some 20 years go by before we see Bathsheba again. When Nathan, prophet, confronted David about his sin, he predicted that because David had killed Uriah with the sword and taken his wife, “the sword will never depart from your house” (2 Samuel 12:10). That’s what we see happen in these 20 years; troubles upon troubles for David’s family. His oldest son, Amnon raped his own half-sister Tamar. In revenge, Tamar’s brother and David’s son Absalom killed Amnon and fled into exile. Absalom returns...
From an unlikely source, US News and World Report magazine, I read this quote: “Bathsheba is one of the most Beguiling Characters in the Bible…”11 One thing about Bathsheba is clear: It is she alone who sparks a sudden transition in David’s life…the implications…will dominate his remaining years.” Bathsheba is a woman of influence. She became a fav...
King David knew that Bathsheba was married, but he told his servant to go and tell her to come to his palace. He knew God’s law said that he should not be with another man’s wife, but King David disobeyed God’s law. He slept with Bathsheba like a husband sleeps with a wife. That is called adultery, and it is a sin.
11 In the spring, when the kings normally went out to war, David sent out Joab, his servants, and all the Israelites. They destroyed the Ammonites and attacked the city of Rabbah. But David stayed in Jerusalem. 2 One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof[a] of his palace. While he was on the roof, he saw a woman bathing.
