00:00To cover up his sin, a king sent a loyal soldier to his death.
00:05That king was David, and the woman at the center of this tragedy was Bathsheba.
00:11One evening, David saw Bathsheba bathing and was captivated by her beauty.
00:17But there was one problem.
00:19She was married to Uriah, one of David's most loyal soldiers.
00:24David summoned Bathsheba, and she became pregnant.
00:28To conceal his wrongdoing, David ordered Uriah to the front lines of battle, where he was killed.
00:35After Uriah's death, David took Bathsheba as his wife.
00:40But God saw everything.
00:43Through the prophet Nathan, God confronted David and exposed his terrible sin.
00:50Despite the tragedy, Bathsheba later became the mother of Solomon, who succeeded David as king.
00:56Her story reminds us that no one is above God's judgment, not even a king.
