David eventually marries Bathsheba and they have a son named Solomon. It was Solomon who had the Temple built and wrote the Proverbs. The one of whom its written that when God asked Solomon what he wanted most, Solomon asked for wisdom. David, Bathsheba and Solomon are all in the family tree of Jesus as revealed in Matthews genealogy. Solomon being listed as the son of Bathsheba, who had been Uriahs wife So, its there in 2 Samuel and in the Gospels! Talk about skeletons in the closet! What, you may be asking, is my point? My point is, the story doesnt end here. David doesnt get away with it as far as keeping his dirty little secret. He certainly cant keep it a secret from God. And God wont let David get away with it either. Even though David commits a callous and heartless act in stealing another mans wife and then having that man murdered, he is still Israels king and after he confessed it, he is forgiven. Even Gods chosen one, King David, had spiritual weaknesses, and we all do. good morning everyone and let us remember even though we may sin, we can ask God for forgiveness and he will forgive us.
