David saw a woman bathing from his rooftop, slept with her, and then arranged her husband's death to cover it up.
While his army was at war, David stayed in Jerusalem and noticed Bathsheba bathing on a nearby roof. He sent for her, and she became pregnant. To conceal the affair, David called her husband Uriah home from battle, hoping he'd sleep with his wife. When Uriah refused out of loyalty to his fellow soldiers, David sent him back with sealed orders placing him at the deadliest point of battle. Uriah was killed, and the prophet Nathan later confronted David with a parable that exposed his sin.
David stays home from war, makes a series of devastating choices, and tries to bury the consequences. What follows is a masterclass in how quickly a good person can unravel — and how one decision can set off a chain reaction that destroys lives.
