David abandons steadfast love Introduction: if you think you are standing firm, watch out! Crucible. A man is tested by his success... cf people you've known who've 'changed' when they 'reached the top and had to stop' remember ch 10 looks both ways; here is the amazing contrast with the previous hesed. David abandons HESED Significant at the start, almost surprising; David stays back at home. Tired of all this? Complacent? Is it pushing it too far to say that there are certain things which you should never outgrow in a given role (eg as a pastor, shepherding actual people)? v2 walking on the roof; back and forth (hithpael form; self-reflexive; aimless, has lost direction?) This is about power, not just lust Important to see this is not merely some physical act of lust, but a deeper heart issue. 'Sins of the flesh' ie the old self and its control centre, and self-interest, and obsession with power. It will go anywhere and do anything provided it can keep control. Adultery: v2 exceedingly pleasing to the eyes Something about power here; cf Stalin (Poskrebyshev etc). People become objects. He sees her, likes her, and then checks whose she is. Presume there was some kind of calculation about this. It's not as simple as mere lust. He is told she is daughter of Eliam and wife of Uriah. So he already knows she is daughter of one of his best fighters ( 2 Samuel 23.34 ) and granddaughter of his most trusted advisor ( 2 Samuel 16.23 , 23.34 ) and wife of one of his elite soliders ( 2 Samuel 23.39 ). David commits adultery in his heart ( Matthew 5.28 ) before he moves on to actual adultery. And also mention emotional adultery. Murder: Bathing - cleansing after her period, and becomes fertile. So she is portrayed as pure, as a victim who walks in integrity throughout. Irony; such careful observation of the ceremonial law by Bathsheba is followed by blatant trampling of the moral law by David. v5 is where is gets all difficult for David. There's a child [cf our cultural arrogance; an unwanted pregnancy ends in murder a great deal of the time. Need to support TPAC etc, and consider adoption] Also cf pornography don't take the moral high ground. v15 ie 'get rid of him'; eliminate the obstacle. Power. Joab's words to the messenger, hints at involvement of a woman. He is no fool and must have known there was a lady involved. Who knows, perhaps Bathsheba was well noticed already? v25 David's reply is actually so patronising, and inappropriate. No anger, no grief, etc. v27 Presume it became fairly public knowledge. Again, about power and accountability. 'I can buy you'. It displeased the LORD. Or, was David appearing to be a noble redeemer, taking the wife of a foreign man who died in battle. David says Shalom, and asks about the shalom of the people and the shalom of the war. Irony! He is the one undoing all the shalom. v25 'encourage' him/like 'be bold and courageous'. Links to v12 in previous chapter. Another irony; David now calling for courage without any moral footing. Whereas at least Joab was calling for courage in light of YHWH's rule. Application : If any of you thinks he is standing firm, watch out! The more powerful, the more necessary accountability is. Above all accountability sits in your heart as self-discipline, sophrosyne. Prone to wander Lord I feel it, prone to leave the God I love. Our self-assessment; be skeptical of self. Jeremiah 17 etc. Our idolatry of others - especially if we've had a great dad, husband, teacher etc. They are not the Christ! Vigilance, but not paranoia. The righteous one suffers and dies (contrast) Uriah portrayed as so honourable, and theologically driven (v11 etc). And he's a Hittite! Uriah - extraordinary self-control and discipline. Elite soldier. Three times it is said that Uriah didn't go home; since he knew where his duty lay. He was not on leave. v10 ie haven't you been away from your wife for ages?? Why did you not go and sleep with her at the first chance (what's wrong with you!). v11 booths. Links to Sukkoth; feast of tabernacles, and Jesus' words in John 7 ? David assumes Uriah is like himself - actually he proves to be more righteous and disciplined. Cf Machiavellian, cynical use of power; trying to play people's self-interest against themselves. The problem arises for the cynic when someone is truly concerned more with their duties than their own comfort or greatness [cf Jesus' temptation; Bunyan and the 7 mile act]. v17 there were other deaths along with Uriah too. Collateral damage at such a scale from selfish acts. Bathsheba - daughter of the oath/daughter of seven. Proves to be the daughter who 'carries on' the promise, of David's great descendants. Ironic; the way the Ammonites came into being was because a daughter got her dad drunk so as to have a child. Now David is trying to get a man drunk, whilst fighting the Ammonites. 'Uriah unwittingly carried his own death warrant' - cf Jesus carrying his cross Two facts: Uriah did not go down to his house. Uriah is dead. v25 and v27 literally, are a profound contrast. 'Don't let this thing be evil in your eyes'. And, the thing was evil in YHWH's eyes.' Whose assessment matters? Application : Sadly it was not, is, not, will not be unusual for people to suffer tragic injustice within the church, the supposed community of the Kingdom. Not just charismatic abuses, but the uber-conservatives too. Until Jesus returns and justice is done. Self-justifying tendencies. Evil in your eyes, or evil in God's eyes? YHWH was silent but not sightless. He permits this happen to show his glory. cf Could he not have kept Lazarus from dying? The gospel: The righteous man dies at the hands of selfish, power-grabbing self-interest. Utterly different verdicts; he deserves to die! vs this is my son. Evil dressed up in religious terms Courage vs cowardice Peace vs chaos Abuse of power vs utter self-control. Jewish council vs Jesus' determination to suffer and die. Conclusion : David abandons steadfast love...but God ultimately does not abandon his steadfast love towards him. Unanswered question begging the cross, resurrection, and ascension.

David and Bathsheba 11 1 h i In the spring of the year, the time when kings go out to battle, David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel. And they ravaged the Ammonites and besieged j Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem. 2 It happened, late one afternoon, when David arose from his couch and was walking on k the roof of the king’s house, that he saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful. 3 And David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, “Is not this l Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of m Uriah the Hittite?” 4 So David sent messengers and took her, and she came to him, and he lay with her. ( n Now she had been purifying herself from her uncleanness.) Then she returned to her house. 5 And the woman conceived, and she sent and told David, “I am pregnant.” 6 So David sent word to Joab, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” And Joab sent Uriah to David. 7 When Uriah came to him, David asked how Joab was doing and how the people were doing and how the war was going. 8 Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and o wash your feet.” And Uriah went out of the king’s house, and there followed him a present from the king. 9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house. 10 When they told David, “Uriah did not go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “Have you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?” 11 Uriah said to David, p “The ark and Israel and Judah dwell in booths, and my lord Joab and q the servants of my lord are camping in the open field. Shall I then go to my house, to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? As you live, and r as your soul lives, I will not do this thing.” 12 Then David said to Uriah, “Remain here today also, and tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next. 13 And David invited him, and he ate in his presence and drank, s so that he made him drunk. And in the evening he went out to lie on his couch with q the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house. 14 In the morning David t wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 15 In the letter he wrote, “Set Uriah in the forefront of the hardest fighting, and then draw back from him, u that he may be struck down, and die.” 16 And as Joab was besieging the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew there were valiant men. 17 And the men of the city came out and fought with Joab, and some of the servants of David among the people fell. Uriah the Hittite also died. 18 Then Joab sent and told David all the news about the fighting. 19 And he instructed the messenger, “When you have finished telling all the news about the fighting to the king, 20 then, if the king’s anger rises, and if he says to you, ‘Why did you go so near the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall? 21 v Who killed Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Did not a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?’ then you shall say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.’” 22 So the messenger went and came and told David all that Joab had sent him to tell. 23 The messenger said to David, “The men gained an advantage over us and came out against us in the field, but we drove them back to the entrance of the gate. 24 Then the archers shot at your servants from the wall. Some of the king’s servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.” 25 David said to the messenger, “Thus shall you say to Joab, ‘Do not let this matter displease you, for the sword devours now one and now another. Strengthen your attack against the city and overthrow it.’ And encourage him.” 26 When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she lamented over her husband. 27 And when the mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and w she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the Lord .
