Messing Up Royally

II Sam. 11
Probably the biggest threat to Israel's existence had been successfully dealt with. David probably breathed a big sigh of relief. Finally he could get some R&R....and we all know what happens next.

I really do not like reading this chapter. No one likes seeing someone mess up...royally. It is painful reading.

I'm not sure what to focus on here in this story of David and Bathsheba, but, considering my gender, perhaps I should take a look at Bathsheba. What was she like? Siren, or simpleton? Vixen, or victim? More to come on this later...
