111 | Bathsheba affair (2 Samuel 11-12)
from Holy Lit: The Bible · host Allen
Picture this: it's around 1000 BCE, and we're about to witness one of the most shocking scandals in ancient history – a story so raw and unflinching that it's been captivating audiences for three thousand years. We're in the kingdom of Israel during what historians call the United Monarchy period, when the nation had just transformed from a loose collection of tribes into a powerful, centralized kingdom under King David. Jerusalem was his glittering capital, military conquests were expanding his territory, and David seemed to be at the absolute peak of his power. Kings in this world weren't just political leaders – they were viewed as divinely appointed rulers with almost god-like authority over their subjects.Source:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nay1kjsBy-FEHw62HyyNn4xI4HRuscNu/view?usp=sharing
