This is a most unusual...
This is a most unusual case. Not the shotgun wedding aspect of the story, where David weds the pregnant Bathsheba. No, it is the other aspect of the story that is so unusual. Tragically, the newscasts of today are full of stories of women being raped then murdered by the perpetrator. That seems to be a common modus operandi. But David doesn’t murder Bathsheba to cover his crime. Rather, he has her husband, Uriah, killed. That took care of the rape charge. All that was left to do was marry Bathsheba, which he did. Is it any wonder that the Lord was displeased?
