David’s tragic fall begins when he stays behind from battle and commits adultery with Bathsheba. To hide the pregnancy, he orchestrates the death of her husband Uriah—adding murder to his sin. Though David appears to succeed in covering it up, God sends the prophet Nathan to confront him. David is convicted, confesses, and receives forgiveness, but the consequences—personal loss and family turmoil—last a lifetime. This lesson highlights the devastating cost of unconfessed sin, the necessity of godly accountability, and the comfort of grace: that true repentance brings forgiveness, even if it doesn’t erase the earthly results of our choices.
