David: The fall of the king.

from bread church Hosted by Bread Church

The story of David and Bathsheba reminds us again how important it is to read an ancient Hebrew story with context and background. This story is uncomfortable! It’s uncomfortable that David did what he did to Bathsheba and Uriah, it's uncomfortable that her feelings and perspective (and name!) are barely included in the account, and it’s uncomfortable that David is still revered as Jesus’ forefather and fore-shadow, after all this. It’s a intricately woven piece of writing - with messaging in there that it’s easy to miss. With a CW on sexual abuse, let this passage speak to you like it might not have done before.
