This is one of my favorite stories from the Bible
and I go back and read it again and again. It is
a “redemption” story, the kind that makes the
readers take notice. A kind of rags
to riches” story about a young boy growing up
in rural Palestine, who becomes King of Israel,
and the leader of the most powerful army and
kingdom in the world at that time in history.
It is a powerful love story that was made into a
major Hollywood Production: David and
Bathsheba, starring Gregory Peck, Rita
Hayworth, and Raymond Massey. And it is a
story with such powerful lessons that any
student of the Bible, or of any literature can
not afford to forget.*
