In the spring when kings went to battle against their enemies David stayed home. He may have become overconfident in all of his successes. While home he saw from a woman taking a bath and she was beautiful. He realizes that she is the wife of one of his faithful soldiers but that doesn't keep him from sleeping with her and then she gets pregnant. He tries to cover his sin but Uriah was more honorable than David. David has Uriah set up to be killed. After the time of mourning David takes Bathsheba to be another on of his wives. Sin covered up will soon be uncovered and the consequences are horrible. We are all tempted by various things but God always gives us a way of dealing with the temptation.
