Bathsheba's Side of the Story
I bet if Bathsheba were to read through the story of David in the bible she would be a little bit more than pissed off the entire time. Not because of the stories, but because of what that guy did to her. I mean this is the scum of a man who went all peeping tom on her then decided he was going to sleep with her whether she liked it or not. He got her pregnant and tried like crazy to cover it up. He forbid her from telling her husband the truth. Then after he couldn't cover it up any other way he killed her husband. He killed the man she loved. Then he added her to his arsenal of wives and because of his terrible act, her child had to be killed. And yet this guy who I am sure at some point she had to despise is at the core of the Bible. He is even called a man after God's own heart. But I don't know about you but looking at that I and I am gussing Bathsheba had a pretty hard time calling someone who would do those thigns a man. I mean David didn't even apologize to her. And even if he had that is a serious load of emotional trauma that poor girl is stuck with. How could God still be with this guy? And how could God really care about Bathsheba and love David at the same time? Maybe she just wasn't worth as much? So I am digging into God's word to find answers. Does God care about what she went through? Does God value her? I am honestly quite conflicted and need scriptural and historical fact to solve this.
