The Rabbis assert that God punished David for the Bathsheba episode. David sealed his own fate when he said (II Sam. 12:6): “He shall pay for the lamb four times over,” and was penalized by the death of four of his children: the first child born to Bathsheba, Amnon, Tamar [who was raped], and Absalom.
The price of David's sin of murder and adultery was high. He spent the rest of his life regretting it. In one psalm he expressed his mental torment and pleaded for forgiveness.
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.
Neither one of these leads to change. David said, “I have sinned,” and he repented and was restored. The Word of God broke through in David's life when nothing else could.
David married the widowed Bathsheba, but their first child died as punishment from God for David's adultery and murder of Uriah. David repented of his sins, and Bathsheba later gave birth to Solomon.
Introduction. King David committed adultery with a woman named Bathsheba who consequently became pregnant. Upon learning of Bathsheba's condition, David tried to cover his sin and eventually arranged for Bathsheba's husband, Uriah, to be killed in battle.
Bathsheba learned that the beginning of her marriage was not easy but she clearly resolved to improve it. She didn't have much of a choice in the beginning but she chose what she wanted the rest of her story to look like. It's not about how you start. It's about how you end up.
The account of David's sin with Bathsheba, recorded in 2 Samuel 11, should always be taught with 2 Samuel 12. Kids will see how David disobeyed God's commands, but they also need to know how both he and God responded to David's moral failure. Be sure to explain that this is the same David who defeated Goliath.
The man said, "Isn't this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite?" Then David sent messengers to get her. She came to him, and he slept with her. (She had purified herself from her uncleanness.)
Leviticus 20:10 threatened that 'the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife … the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death', while Deuteronomy 22:22 thundered, if a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then both of them shall die'.
David's wrongdoings enumerated in Nathan's speech include despising the word of the LORD, killing Uriah, and taking Uriah's wife Bathsheba. The consequences are harsh: The sword will never depart from David's house, his wives will be taken by another, and the child born to David and Bathsheba will die.
It all began when King David was walking on his palace roof one evening. From there he spied Bathsheba, who was a beautiful woman, taking a bath. He sent for her and they slept together.
Viewing David's decision to leave his ten concubines behind as an intentional offering for Absalom presents his action in an even more negative light than if he had left them behind with unintentional unconcern for their safety and wellbeing.
The prophet Nathan confronted King David about his adultery with Bathsheba and his arranging Uriah's death on the battlefield. Nathan explained that the consequences of David's actions would affect David, his family, and the entire kingdom.
Towdah comes from the same principle root word as Yadah and the literal meaning is to raise a hand in adoration, acceptance, and thanks. Towdah in the Psalms usually referred to thanksgiving for things not yet received as well as things that are happening now. It also means to be thankful even during difficult times.
Bathsheba gives birth to a healthy son, the future King Solomon. Most of David's previous marriages were arranged for political alliances. But David is drawn to Bathsheba by a powerful sexual attraction. Popular culture chooses to view their relationship as a classic romance—lust turned to love.
Bathsheba raised a king.
After entering into marriage with David post-adultery, Bathsheba became pregnant a second time and gave birth to Solomon. Bathsheba became the mother of a future king, and God saw fit to redeem the story, extending his love toward the child, and eventually crowning this boy, Solomon, as king.
Nathan (Hebrew: נתן, Modern: Natan, Tiberian: Nāṯān) was the third of four sons born to King David and Bathsheba in Jerusalem. He was a younger brother of Shammuah (sometimes referred to as Shammua or Shimea), Shobab, and Solomon.
David and Bathsheba
Informed that her husband was Uriah, David summoned Uriah from battle to meet him, suggesting that he go home and "wash his feet," meaning to spend time at home and attend to his wife. Uriah refused, claiming a code of honor with his fellow warriors while they were in battle.
Then suddenly David falls into heinous sin when he steals a man's wife and then has her husband murdered as part of the coverup (2 Sam. 11). The Lord then sends the prophet Nathan to confront David over his sin (2 Sam. 12).
David opens Psalm 77 (read the entire chapter on Biblica) by explaining that he "cried out to God for help" when he was in distress.
Basically the Bathsheba Syndrome is this: Ethical failures in leaders is a product of success, not pressure to perform. Success may cause leaders to shift focus from those things that made them successful to less important issues.
