The messenger said to David...
The messenger said to David, "The men overpowered us and came out against us in the open, but we drove them back to the entrance to the city gate. Then the archers shot arrows at your servant from the wall, and some of the king's men died. Moreover, your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead." David told the messenger, "Say this to Joab: "Don't let this upset you; the sword devours one as well as another.
Press the attack against the city, and destroy it." Say this to encourage Joab." When Uriah's wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him. After the time of mourning was over, David had her brought to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son.
But the thing David had done displeased the LORD." Have you ever heard such a story of cunning as the killing of Uriah, of how David committed adultery with the wife of Uriah and then made him drink wine so that he could lay with his wife, and then finally sent him to the battlefield to be killed, and how he was killed! Now let us read about the offspring of that married woman who committed adultery with David! In Matthew 1:6, we have: "And Jesse the father of King David.
David was the father of Solomon, whose mother had been Uriah's wife." In Samuel II 12:9, we read: "Why did you despise the word of the LORD by doing what is evil in his eyes? You struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own. You killed him with the sword of the Ammonites." Now see how God seeks revenge, in Verse 11: "This is what the LORD says: "Out of your own household I am going to bring calamity upon you.
Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to one who is close to you, and he will lie with your wives in broad daylight. You did it in secret, but I will do this thing in broad daylight before all Israel." According to Chapter 16:22, the threat was carried out: "So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he lay with his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel." Prophet Lot Later on, a hair-raising accusation about Prophet Lot will be given in details.
Prophet Jacob In Genesis 29:11, Prophet Jacob is accused of kissing a strange woman: “Then Jacob kissed Rachel and began to weep aloud.” Then, in Genesis 27:1-35, he is accused of deceiving. Later on, this story will be discussed with details. It is a strange accusation that a prophet should kiss a woman or drink wine, or deceive his father in order to get blessing. Is it possible that these words are True?
