Outraged, David said the rich man deserved to die. Nathan told a story about a rich man stealing a poor man's one and only lamb. In response, God sent the prophet Nathan to challenge David. David then brought Bathsheba into the palace as a wife. Finally, David arranged for Uriah to be caught in the midst of a battle maneuver and killed. David even tried getting Uriah drunk, but that failed as well. He refused to take special privileges while his friends were at war. But Uriah was loyal to his fellow soldiers. At first, David brought her soldier husband, Uriah, back from war, hoping he would sleep with Bathsheba and cover up the illegitimate pregnancy. He noticed a woman, Bathsheba, bathing on her roof, called her into the palace, and she became pregnant by David.
This confession was inspired by David's sins of adultery, deception, and even murder in his relationship with Bathsheba.ĭavid's reasons for repentance are explained in 2 Samuel chapters 11 and 12. David, the greatest of Israel's kings, fell into serious sin and recognized his need to plead with God for forgiveness. Psalm 51 is a renowned expression of repentance. 19 Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, In burnt offering and whole burnt offering Then bulls will be offered on Your altar. 18 By Your favor do good to Zion Build the walls of Jerusalem. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit A broken and a contrite heart, God, You will not despise. 16 For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it You do not take pleasure in burnt offering. 15 Lord, open my lips, So that my mouth may declare Your praise. 14 Save me from the guilt of bloodshed, God, the God of my salvation Then my tongue will joyfully sing of Your righteousness.
13 Then I will teach wrongdoers Your ways, And sinners will be converted to You. 12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And sustain me with a willing spirit.
11 Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. 10 Create in me a clean heart, God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. 9 Hide Your face from my sins And wipe out all my guilty deeds. 8 Let me hear joy and gladness, Let the bones You have broken rejoice. 7 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean Cleanse me, and I will be whiter than snow. 6 Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, And in secret You will make wisdom known to me. 5 Behold, I was brought forth in guilt, And in sin my mother conceived me. 4 Against You, You only, I have sinned And done what is evil in Your sight, So that You are justified when You speak And blameless when You judge. 3 For I know my wrongdoings, And my sin is constantly before me. 2 Wash me thoroughly from my guilt And cleanse me from my sin. 1 Be gracious to me, God, according to Your faithfulness According to the greatness of Your compassion, wipe out my wrongdoings.
