 EXODUS 20:12-14

The other commandments of the Lord followed. These included commands for
people to honor their father and mother. They were not to murder, commit
adultery.

 2 SAMUEL 11

During the spring, at a time when most kings head off to war, King David told
Joab to go battle with his men and the entire army of Israel. They wiped out the
Ammonites and also surround Rabbah while the king stayed in Jerusalem.

One evening when David was walking on the roof of his palace, he noticed a
beautiful woman bathing. He then sent a man out to learn more about her. When
the man returned, he told David that the woman was named Bathsheba, and that
she was Eliam’s daughter, as well as Uriah’s wife.
David sent some messengers to bring her to him. She went to David and slept
with him. Then Bathsheba returned home. Later, she sent word to the king that
she was pregnant.

The king had Joab send Uriah the Hittite to him. When he arrived, the king asked
him how the war was going and then told him to go home. Uriah left but he did
not go home. Instead, he slept at the palace entrance. When David found out he
asked him why he had not gone home. Uriah told him that as long as Judah,
Israel, and the Ark were staying in tents that he could not go home to eat or to
sleep with his wife.

Then David gave Uriah a letter he had written and he told him to give it to Joab.
In the letter, David told Joab to put Uriah in the very front of the fiercest fighting
and then to pull away from him so Uriah would be killed. Joab did this and Uriah
died in battle. Joab sent a messenger to tell David that Uriah was dead.

When Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah, learned that her husband had died, she
mourned him. When the mourning period was over, King David had Bathsheba
brought to him. She married David and had his son. But what King David had
accomplished displeased God.

 2 SAMUEL 12

Second Samuel Chapter 12 finds Nathan, the prophet, rebuking David, who has
sinned.

God sends Nathan in to see David and Nathan tells him a parable. In the parable,
one man is very rich and has much livestock while a poor man only has a little
ewe which he treats like one of his children. But when a traveler comes to stay
with the rich man, he refuses to take one of his sheep or his cows to feed him,
but takes the poor man’s ewe instead.

When David hears this story, he is full of righteous anger, not realizing that it
applies to him. He says the man who stole the poor man’s ewe does not deserve
to live. Nathan then reveals to David that the story is about him. He reminds
David that the Lord made him king and kept Saul, the old king, from killing him.
Now David has Saul’s house and his wives and his kingdom and the Lord would
have given him even more than this, but he sinned.

Nathan reminds David that he had the Hittite commander Uriah killed by the
Ammonites so he could take his wife. Because of this, David’s house will always
be in turmoil. David repents and Nathan tells him that he is not going to die, but
the son born to him and Bathsheba will die because of David’s sin.

Sure enough, the child sickens and dies despite David’s pleading and fasting.
David’s servants are even afraid to tell him about the child’s death. But David
seems to take the death more calmly than his servants would have thought. He
tells the servants that his fasting will not help the child now.

After this, David and Bathsheba have another child whom they named Solomon.
God loves this child and tells Nathan to have the child named Jedidiah.

Joab, one of David’s commanders, is on a campaign against their old enemies –

the Ammonites. Joab controls the water in Rabbah and tells David to send his
army to the town or he will capture it and name it after himself.

David goes with his army to Rabbah and captures it. The crown of its king is
placed on the head of David. The army also took some booty and enslaved the
people. After conquering all the Ammonite towns, David and his army go back to
Jerusalem.

 THE VERSE THAT TOUCHED ME IS:

12 
“Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the
land the LORD your God is giving you.[EXODUS 20:12]

We need to use this verse every day as we have to respect them as they are the ones who
brought us on earth and have been with us all this time, guiding us, protecting us, and giving us
all the needs and love one could ever wish for.
