2. BATHSHEBA – THE COVER-UP


2. BATHSHEBA – THE COVER-UP

 

SEEK GOD’S WORD FOR TRUTH

Read the following passage:

2 SAMUEL 11:6-27

Bathsheba sent a message to the king informing him that she was pregnant. How did King David respond? What instructions did he give Uriah?

 

What was the motivation for Uriah’s actions?

 

David writes a letter to Joab. In your own words, describe David’s new plan and his attitude.

 

How did Bathsheba react to her husband’s death? What do you gather from her reaction?

 

What happened to Bathsheba after her time of mourning was over?

 

Contrast the actions and attitudes of David, Uriah, and Bathsheba.

 

FIND GOD’S WAYS FOR YOU

Bathsheba chose to rely on David to take care of “the problem.” David chose to handle things himself. And Uriah became the scapegoat.

When you make wrong choices, what kind of pattern do you fall into?

 

How have you helped cover up for other people?

 

What impact have your choices had on others?

 

What impact have other people’s choices had on your life?

 

STOP AND PONDER

There is a path before each person that seems right,
      but it ends in death.

PROVERBS 14:12

Where are you headed?
