Joe: Alright, so let's dig into this 2 Samuel 11. What's the gist?
Bible Expert: Well, Joe, it's all about King David's terrible sin.
Joe: What kind of sin?
Bible Expert: Well, it's a pretty nasty one. David saw a woman named Bathsheba and fell in love with her, even though she was already married. He then sent for her and slept with her.
Joe: Oh, that's not good.
Bible Expert: No, it's definitely not! To make matters worse, Bathsheba became pregnant with David's child. So David tried to cover it up by having her husband, Uriah the Hittite, killed in battle.
Joe: Wait, he had him killed?
Jamie: (In the background) Wait, I'm looking this up, it says here that Uriah was a soldier in David's army who refused to go home and sleep with his wife while his fellow soldiers were fighting in battle.
Joe: Wow, that's pretty messed up.
Bible Expert: Yes, it is. But God's wrath was kindled against David and he was punished for his sin. He was told that the child would die and soon enough it did.
Joe: That's some heavy stuff.
Bible Expert: It certainly is. But it's also a reminder of the consequences of our sins and the importance of following God's commands.
