Good People Part 3
Ok, so let’s talk some more about good people. Another man in the Bible that most people have heard of is David. Would agree that David was a good person?
WRONG
So, let’s look at David for a minute. In 2 Samuel chapter 11 we see a story about David. Now, David was the king and in his day when a country went to war they were led by their King. Well, in 2 Samuel 11 we see that the nation was at war and David decided to stay home. So, while his men were off fighting, David decided to take a leisurely walk on the roof. While up there David spotted a women, Bathsheba, bathing. Now, it wasn’t his fault that he saw this women. However, in verse 2 we see that David noticed that she was very beautiful. So, this was more then a chance glance and then he turned away. He spent enough time looking at her to notice and comment on her beauty. But, wait it get’s better. In verse 3 we see where David then sent a servant to find out about her. The servant, realizing that what David was doing was wrong, pointed out the fact that this women was married. Ignoring this, David sent servants to bring her to him. He then slept with her and she became pregnant. In verse 6 David, upon hearing that Bathsheba was pregnant, sent a messenger to retrieve her husband, Uriah, from where he was involved in the war. David then tried to get Uriah to lay with his wife so that David’s indiscretion might be covered up. However, Uriah out of loyalty to his men that were still fighting in the war refused to lie with his wife and even refused to sleep in his own bed. After Uriah refused to lie with his wife on a second night, David wrote a note and sent it with Uriah. In this note David told the commander of his army to place Uriah on the front lines and then withdraw from him so that, “he will be struck down and die.”
So, David lusted after Bathsheba, he committed adultery with Bathsheba, he lied to cover his indiscretion, and then arranged to have Uria killed. So, do you still think that David was a good person?
You may be reading this and wondering where I am going with all of this. Stay tuned it will all make since at it’s conclusion.
