The story of David begins years before he was to be King, in the mountains of Ephraim where a man by the name of Elkanah lived (eBibleStories.com). Elkanah had many wives, one

said, “Daddy, where you been”? The father said, “Well, son. I’ve been here all the time”. But when I heard that story, I wondered what you would say if your son or daughter were to say to you, “Daddy or Mother, where you been”? Could you say with David, “I will walk within my own house with a perfect heart” (Psalms 101:2)? Or, could you say

Unconfessed sin can be very dangerous to the spiritual walk of a believer. Sin is when we do something that displeases God. We are all guilty of sin, and deserve to spend eternity separated completely from Him. He has promised to forgive us of our sins, but only if we take initiative and confess them to Him.

The prologue of the Wife of Baths by Chaucer has a surprisingly modern view of women and touches many issues raised by modern feminists. She discusses the issues of equality between men and women, and how more often then not women are held to a standard that is not held to men. She uses biblical ideas to both demonstrate the hypocrisy of these issues and also uses them to defend her arguments. She also suggests that men are not upholding the expectations of God and thus should not expect and shame

Most people often forget of the major sin he commited, one that many Christians make today. Adultery is becoming a common practice in modern day society now, but back during biblical times, this was not so common and easily forgiven.

Bathsheba was married at the time to one of David’s friends, Uriah. David assigned Uriah to the front line of combat, which was where the men were most likely to die during war.
