Robin: Holy Scripture, Batman! What does 2 Samuel 11 say?

Batman: It’s a sad tale, Robin. The chapter starts off with King David staying in Jerusalem instead of going out to fight with his troops.

Catwoman: How very un-regal of him!

Batman: Indeed. While there, he sees a woman named Bathsheba bathing on a roof.

Joker: How naughty!

Batman: He takes her as his wife, and she gives birth to a child. But the child dies soon after.

Riddler: What an unfortunate turn of events!

Batman: That’s not the end of it. To cover up the affair, David arranges for the husband of Bathsheba to be sent to the front lines of battle, where he is killed.

Penguin: What a devious plan!

Batman: But the Lord was not pleased with David, and he suffers the consequences for his actions.

Robin: What a tragedy.
