2Sa 11:26 | MHM | STEP | v. 26–27 : After Uriah’s death, Bath-sheba mourned for her husband for a short time (2 Samuel 11:26 ). Then David married her, and she gave birth to a son. The quick marriage could not hide what had happened, and the birth of the child made the truth obvious. Most importantly, “the thing that David had done displeased the Lord .” God saw all of David’s sins—adultery, deceit, murder, and the rushed marriage. Even though David was a man after God’s own heart, his sin brought God’s displeasure. This is a warning that God sees and hates sin, especially in those who belong to Him. We should never use David’s example as an excuse to sin, because God will judge us just as He judged David.
