Contents: David's great sin.

Characters: David, Uriah, Bathsheba, Joab.

Conclusion: A Christian with natural tendencies to sensuality may have cravings even when the general bent of his mind is to live in God's will. The devil finds work for idle hands to do (2 Samuel 11:1) and we should therefore be warned of the danger of having nothing in particular to do. Sin started leads to more sin to hide it. After all, the atmosphere of trial and difficulty is the occasion of highest strength.

Key Word: Adultery, 2 Samuel 11:4, (murder, 2 Samuel 11:15).

Strong Verses: 2 Samuel 11:11; 2 Samuel 11:27.

Striking Facts: We need to bear in mind that as the chosen seed through which Messiah was to come, David and others of the direct line had the combined forces of evil against them to accomplish, if possible their downfall. Of all men, they should have walked in hourly dependence on God.
