    Tris on 2 Samuel 11 - 12 years ago
    I think this chapter is saying - If you have power you can act in vile and despicable ways, Rape and murder, lies and duplicity are OK by him, but be poor or powerless and you're damned, or at least doomed.... I presume the Lords of this time used chapters such as this to underline their absolute power, whilst simultaneously cowing the rabble. Its obvious which side God is on, despite his 'displeasure' its not David that suffers, its Bathsheba and her poor husband.
    "Amen!"   Report
