2 Samuel 11
Chapter 11
David and Bathsheba
1In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab out with the king's men and the whole Israelite army. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem. David saw Bathsheba and lusted after her. He knew she was married, but sent for her anyway. After she became pregnant, everyone would know that she committed adultery, because her husband was at war. So, to cover up one sin David committed another. He ordered that her husband, Uriah be sent to the forefront of the battle. This way he would be killed. "But the thing David had done displeased the Lord". This story is a true depiction of what sin does. It doesn't stop. It makes us feel as if we have to take on a burden that we can't manage by trying to cover it up. In our eyes trying to cover up our sin is much easier than asking for forgiveness, because of the conviction in our heart. David's lust turned into to adultery, which led to premeditated murder. We need to take control of our sin and know that God is always willing to forgive us if we turn away from our sin. Psalms 51.

2 Samuel 13
Chapter 13
Amnon and Tamar
1In the course of time, Amnon son of David fell in love with Tamar, the beautiful sister of Absalom son of David. David's sons Absalom and Amnon are, like their father, unable to control their urges and desires. The punishment for David's sins in chapter 11 continue to be dealt. Amnon's friend, Jonadab came up with a plan to help Amnon have sex with Tamar, his stepsister. Amnon pretended to be sick and requested that his sister be sent to his room with food. Amnon asked his sister first, "Come, lie with me, my sister". But when she refused, he forced her. Afterwards, Amnon tells her, "Arise, be gone". This tells us that his only desire for her was due to lust. He had no desire to marry her like she suggested (v.13). Absalom plotted against his brother, getting him drunk, then having his servants murder him. After doing this, Absalom fled to Geshur, where his grandfather was the king.
