LESSON 4 - Uriah’s wife (Bathsheba)
BATHSHEBA: Married woman ordered to become an adulterer, yet the mother of the wisest king that ever lived …
Life synopsis … Bathsheba came from an upper class family, including a husband and father named among King David’s mighty men (ref 2 Samuel 11:3), as well as a grandfather who was King David’s counselor (ref 2 Samuel 15:12). Little is known of her personally, except that she obeyed ceremonial laws (ref 2 Samuel 11:4) and the King’s order, which led to the wrongful deaths of her husband and child. Yet God’s redemptive kindness was seen when birthed through her came the wisest king that ever lived.
Read this ... 2 Samuel 11-12, 2 Samuel 23:23-24 & 39, 1 Chronicles 3:5, 1 Kings 10:23 (If you do not have a Bible handy, you can read it online at Biblegateway.com)
Key verse … Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

Let’s practice … What injustices have you experienced? What grows in your heart as a result? How determined are you to seek the Lord and His justice?
Personal Reflections …
