Busted and Broken (7 of 8)

Psalm 51:1-17
It was late afternoon, early evening, in the spring. King David had sent his general, Joab, and his armies out to war, but he stayed behind in Jerusalem. The Bible says he had been in bed all day, just kind of lounging around, just doing a bunch of nothing. He got up in the early evening and he took a little walk on the roof of his palace. And when he did, he saw something. He saw a beautiful woman and she was bathing. And David knew that he should turn away, but he didn't turn away. He kept looking at her.

But Uriah wouldn't do it, because Uriah said it was wrong for him to go home to be with his wife and enjoy his wife when his brothers are out fighting the king's battles. So Uriah stayed the night at the gate of the king's palace. They told David he didn't go home. So David brought him in the next day and said, ''Why didn't you g ...
