BATHSHEBA, THE BEAUTIFUL, Chapter 11 of Polygamy in the Bible

 Pages 115 to 121

Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend the words of my mouth. Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her. (Proverbs 7:24-26)

It was springtime and Israel was at war with the Ammonites. David should have been out on the battlefield, but he made the mistake of staying home. One day David was taking a little stroll, and “from the roof he saw a woman washing herself, and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.” (II Sam. 11:2) Not satisfied with just looking, he invited her up to his apartment. The woman’s name was Bathsheba, and she accepted the invitation. It was a Hollywood romance–love at first sight; and it didn’t stop until after it reached the bedchamber. In that fateful moment, David made a tragic mistake in his spotless character, an event that troubled him the rest of his life.
