In our last episode, we heard how Nathan confronted David for his sin of adultery and murder. God would spare David’s life, but he took the son conceived in sin and promised David there would be acrimony and war in his household. David repented and turned back to God, worshipping Him and drawing near to his source of comfort and assurance. But while God had forgiven the sin, there would still be natural consequences for David’s choices. And today we’ll see how David’s failure creates conflict and drama among his children. It’s a story of the brokenness caused by sin – not only David’s sin with Bathsheba but his choice to marry many wives and disregard God’s design for marriage between one man and one woman.
