2 Samuel 9-11, Psalm 79

Published: June 2, 2022, 4:05 a.m.

Throughout the Old Testament, we meet men of varying backgrounds who set out to obey the Lord and deliver God\u2019s people. Time and again, God\u2019s people rejoice and revel in their hero, but inevitably, these men fall and are shown to be sinful. There is none righteous, no not one. David is no exception, and his lust for another man\u2019s wife begets more and more sin. Luxury and boredom turn into lust, which turns to an abuse of power, then adultery, then deception, then second-hand murder. Though he tries to hide his sin by sinning further, the Lord will not allow the sin of Israel\u2019s king to go unpunished.
