The story of David and Bathsheba is told in 2 Samuel 11 and 12, set against the backdrop of David's war against the Ammonites, a tribe from a region east of the Dead Sea that is now part of present-day Jordan. 2 Samuel 11:1 records that the king sent his army out to wage war, but he himself stayed behind in Jerusalem. Obviously, David was secure en...
Even if Bathsheba played a part, scriptures deem David's sin in their affair to be greater for two reasons. Once he found out Bathsheba's identity, he knew that she was married and he had sent her husband off to war. Clearly, a liaison with her would violate the seventh commandment against adultery, and a king of Israel was supposed to be a religio...
Not long after Bathsheba and David committed adultery, Bathsheba sent a message to David telling him she was pregnant. Now the pressure was really on the king, who might have concealed his affair with Bathsheba, but couldn't hide her pregnancy for long. Instead of owning up to the liaison and making restitution, David took an even more sinful appro...
Sure enough, Joab put Uriah on the front lines when David's army attacks Rabbath after a long siege, although Joab didn't withdraw the army as David instructed. Despite Joab's action, Uriah and other officers were killed. After a mourning period, Bathsheba was brought to the palace to become the latest of King David's wives, thus assuring the legit...

By now David was old and feeble, and his oldest surviving son, Adonijah, attempted to us...

Whether Bathsheba is guilty or not, is less important in the Bible than the guilt of the king himself: Nathan comes to Da...
