“And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die” (2 Samuel 11:15).
When we try to hide the truth, innocent people will always get hurt. King David had Uriah sent to the heat of the battle where he would die with a group of valiant men. The messenger didn’t understand David’s tactics but carried out his orders. Uriah died and all the men around him. How tragic when a person feels they must hide their sin at any cost. Our devotion tomorrow indicates Bathsheba wasn’t aware of David’s involvement in this horrible deed. This is going to take a toll on her.
