Psalm 51
The year was roughly 990 B C. David was king in Israel. He had been king for a good number of years. God had blessed him in incredible ways. David experienced victory after victory after victory. In 2nd Samuel, chapter 11 we read of David's great sin. It was in the spring of the year around 990 B.C., and it was the time that the kings go out to battle.

He had a night of adultery, a night of sexual sin with her. Then he got it out of his system, so to speak, and he sent her on her way. She came back weeks later, and said, ''I am pregnant.'' And David knew he was in trouble. He had a problem on his hands because Uriah the Hittite is fighting his battle against the sons of Amon, and so Uriah's is going to know, hey, this isn't my child. So, what does he do? David calls for Uriah to come b ...
