SHOW NOTES: In Podcast Episode 185, “Operation Royal Cover-Up,” Kim discusses the repeated attempts by King David to cover up his adulterous taking of Bathsheba, Uriah's wife. It is terribly sad to see all the sins committed by David in his attempts to cover up his affair and all those he involved in the cover-up. Prayerfully consider how you acted as David, either attempting to cover up your own sins or assisting others in covering theirs. The primary scripture text for this episode is 2 Samuel 11:1-27 with 6-7, 12-13, and 14-15 as the focal verses. 6 Then David sent word to Joab: “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” So Joab sent him to David. 7 When Uriah arrived, David asked him how Joab and the army were getting along and how the war was progressing. 12 “Well, stay here today,” David told him, “and tomorrow you may return to the army.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and the next. 13 Then David invited him to dinner and got him drunk. But even then he couldn't get Uriah to go home to his wife. Again he slept at the palace entrance with the king's palace guard. 14 So the next morning David wrote a letter to Joab and gave it to Uriah to deliver. 15 The letter instructed Joab, “Station Uriah on the front lines where the battle is fiercest. Then pull back so that he will be killed.” ADDITIONAL VERSES, etc.: 3 When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long. 4 Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Interlude 5 Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone. Interlude (Ps. 32:3-5) WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT FEATURE: Is there a cover-up in your life that you have failed to admit, even to God? Learn from King David and come clean TODAY.

SHOW NOTES: In Podcast Episode 184, “Perceived Personal Power Can Lead to Spiritual Numbness,” Kim discusses the dangers of bowing to the idol of personal power. King David had moved from the teenage boy standing up to the bully Goliath only in the power of the Lord of Heaven's Armies to a king abusing his power in a sexual manner. This week's study has caused Kim to see the story of David and Bathsheba in a whole new, concerning light. The primary scripture text for this episode is 2 Samuel 11:3-5 with 4 as the focal verse. 4 Then David sent messengers to get her; and when she came to the palace, he slept with her. She had just completed the purification rites after having her menstrual period. Then she returned home. ADDITIONAL VERSES, etc.: 45 David replied to the Philistine, “You come to me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of Heaven's Armies—the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 Today the Lord will conquer you, and I will kill you and cut off your head. And then I will give the dead bodies of your men to the birds and wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel! (1 Samuel 17:45-46) WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT FEATURE: Reflect upon the power differential between King David and Bathsheba. What are some modern-day examples? Additional Resources: “In our members there is a slumbering inclination towards desire which is both sudden and fierce. With irresistible power, desire seizes mastery over the flesh. All at once a secret, smoldering fire is kindled. The flesh burns and is in flames…Joy in God is…extinguished in us and we seek all our joy in the creature. At this moment God is quite unreal to us…Satan does not here fill us with hatred of God, but with forgetfulness of God…The lust thus aroused enveloped the mind and will of man in deepest darkness. The powers of clear discrimination and of decision are taken from us…It is here that everything within me rises up against the word of God.” (Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Creation and Fall: Temptation, Two Biblical Studies, pg. 33) Bathsheba's Story: Surviving Abuse and Loss by Diana R.
