The story of David and Bathsheba shows us David\u2019s sin and failure to take God at His Word. Despite all the progress David made in establishing God\u2019s kingdom in fulfillment of his covenant promises, David is not God\u2019s forever king who will finally usher in God\u2019s people into God\u2019s place and presence. In this passage, we see the enemy within, cycles of sin, and Jesus wins.
