The steps that David took to bed Bathsheba were underhanded, leading the prophet Nathan to rebuke David and to declare that, “the sword shall never depart from your house . . . I will make a calamity rise against you from within your own house” (2 Samuel 12:10-11). This week we looked at the birth of Solomon and the power plays that went behind his rise in succession.
