In this episode, we read 2 Samuel chapters 8–11. David’s reign is marked by military victories and justice as the Lord gives him success over his enemies. However, the narrative takes a dramatic turn when David commits adultery with Bathsheba and orchestrates the death of her husband, Uriah. These chapters reveal both the strength of David’s leadership and the weakness of his humanity, reminding us of the blessings of obedience and the devastating consequences of sin.
