David takes Bathsheba as his wife When Uriah’s wife heard This phrase introduces Bathsheba, who is referred to as "Uriah's wife," emphasizing her marital connection to Uriah the Hittite. This highlights the gravity of David's sin, as Bathsheba was not just any woman but the wife of one of his loyal soldiers. The use of "heard" suggests the news was brought to her, possibly by a messenger, indicating the communication methods of the time. This moment marks a turning point in the narrative, as Bathsheba's life is about to change dramatically. that her husband was dead, she mourned for him. Persons / Places / Events 1. BathshebaThe wife of Uriah, who becomes a central figure in this account. Her mourning signifies the personal loss and the broader implications of David's actions. 2. Uriah the Hittite A valiant warrior in King David's army, whose death was orchestrated by David to cover up his sin with Bathsheba. 3. King David The King of Israel, who, despite being a man after God's own heart, falls into grave sin by committing adultery with Bathsheba and arranging Uriah's death. 4. Jerusalem The city where these events unfold, serving as the backdrop for David's moral failure and the subsequent consequences. 5.

Teaching Points The Consequences of SinSin often has far-reaching consequences that affect not only the sinner but also those around them. David's actions led to Uriah's death and Bathsheba's mourning. The Importance of Accountability David's lack of accountability led to a series of sinful actions. Christians are encouraged to seek accountability within the body of Christ to prevent moral failures. God's Grace and Forgiveness Despite the gravity of David's sin, God's grace is available. True repentance, as seen in Psalm 51, opens the door to forgiveness and restoration. The Role of Grief Bathsheba's mourning is a natural and necessary response to loss. Grief is a process that God can use to bring healing and growth. The Danger of Covering Sin Attempting to cover sin, as David did, often leads to more sin and greater consequences. Confession and repentance are the biblical responses to sin.(26) Mourned for her husband.--How long this mourning lasted we are not told. The usual period was seven days (Genesis 1:10; 1Samuel 31:13), and although that of a widow may well have been somewhat longer, it was doubtless, under the circumstances, made as short as was consistent with decency.Verse 26. - And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband. There is something pathetic in this repetition of the name of the murdered man, and his close relationship with Bathsheba is dwelt upon by his being twice called "her husband," and she "Uriah's wife." Having been the cause of his murder, she is careful to make for him the customary mourning. How long it lasted is uncertain. The mourning for Aaron (Numbers 20:29) and that for Moses (Deuteronomy 34:8) were each for thirty days; while that for Jacob at Atad (Genesis 50:10) and that of the men of Jabesh-Gilead for Saul (1 Samuel 31:13) lasted only for seven days. Both these, however, were under such exceptional circumstances as made them no rule; but in Ecclus. 22:12 we read, "Seven days do men mourn for him that is dead," and the national lamentation for Judith lasted the same time (Judith 16:24). Probably, however, the mourning of a widow for her husband would last a month. Parallel Commentaries ...
