Topic: David and Bathsheba


  
  David (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net
David was the eighth and youngest son of Jesse, a citizen of Bethlehem.

David took his sling, and with a well-trained aim threw a stone “out of the brook,” which struck the giant's forehead, so that he fell senseless to the ground.

 David and Ahab, Clinton and Nixon: Contemporary Lessons From Two Biblical Stories
David was incensed to learn that the rich man, with many sheep and cattle of his own, had taken his neighbor's only lamb (described as being "like a daughter to him") to prepare a meal for a guest.
As the remainder of 2 Samuel reveals, David and Bathsheba's son soon died, one of David's sons raped one of his daughters and was in turn murdered by her brothers, and David's son, Absolum, led a revolt and indulged himself with David's own concubines on his father's rooftop (2 Sam.
Modern pundits who apply the story of David and Bathsheba to Clinton almost invariably point either to the certainty of God's judgment on sin as a reason for Clinton to resign and/or be impeached or to God's mitigation of punishment as a reason that he should be allowed to stay.

David is in his palace, the highest building in Jerusalem, one supposes, together with the temple.

 DAVID AND BATHSHEBA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
David had always been more popular than Saul, and now that Saul and his son Jonathan were dead, the way was clear for David to step in and assume the kingship.
David sheds real tears, no doubt, for Jonathan, the love of his life, and some of his tears for Saul were probably real, since Saul was after all a tragic figure worthy of some pity, but mixed in with the real tears for Saul were probably some political tears as well.
David, the story suggests, is just waking up from an afternoon nap, maybe a little groggy, is just sort of looking around wondering what's for dinner when all of a sudden on the roof next door this beautiful woman appears, this beautiful, naked, woman and all of a sudden David is awake.

 A study of David and Bathsheba's first meeting
Bathsheba had just cleansed herself from the ritual defilement of her menstrual discharge that had been outlined under the Law (Lev 15:19-24, II Sam 11:4) so that David actually slept with her during a ‘safer’ period than at other times.
David, in his first attempt at a covering of his own sin, tried to make someone else responsible - what he effectively does is to try and get Uriah to sleep with his wife so that he naturally thinks that the conception that has taken place is the result of his action.
David here uses deceit and it is only that Uriah is more upright in heart and noble than David that his plan ultimately fails, refusing to take his ease and pleasure when his brothers were under threat of destruction and death in battle against the Ammonites (II Sam 11:11).

 David and Mephibosheth
It was probably at least a year because Bathsheba had to conceive a baby, bear that baby, and it had to become beloved of David, a man of war.
So the child must have gotten big enough to be responsive to David, and you know most men don't go into rapture over things about so long that roll their eyes and wet their pants, but, when those eyes begin to focus on you, the heart is captured.
When David finally established his kingdom, it reached from Egypt in the South to the Euphrates in the north, to the Mediterranean on the west and encompassed Moab, Edom and Ammon on the east.

You have struck down Uriah the >Hittite with the sword, have taken his wife to be your wife, >and have killed him with the sword of the sons of Ammon.
Proof that David did not commit an act of adultery comes from Nathan's rebuke of David for marrying Bathsheba after causing her husband's death, but fails to accuse him of the (more serious) prior act of having relations with her while she was still married to Uriah.
