2 Samuel 10 - 12

2 SamuelSteve Gregg
In 2 Samuel chapters 10-12, King David faces a series of battles and personal struggles. After the death of the Ammonite king, his son takes the throne and Joab leads a successful battle against the Ammonites. However, David's subsequent affair with Bathsheba and plot to cover it up by having her husband Uriah killed invites the wrath of God, as it is seen as an evil deed. David's actions demonstrate that even heroes are human and susceptible to wrongdoing. Ultimately, he confronts and repents for his sins.
