BBartato replied to the thread The beginning of sin of David with Bathsheba, 2 Samuel 11.I am of the opinion that in those times women generally married quite young especially if they were beautiful like Bathsheba. If a woman was much past puberty, she was probably married. Perhaps this understanding is incorrect. My own great...

steve replied to the thread The beginning of sin of David with Bathsheba, 2 Samuel 11.He could see her well enough to perceive her to be beautiful. I am guessing that you are asking about my assumption that she was an adult, they considered women adult enough to be married at a much younger age than we do. I had never considered...

A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little gray hair he had left. Amazing, he thought as he flew down I-94...

frederick replied to the thread The beginning of sin of David with Bathsheba, 2 Samuel 11.Yes, and David had the resources to care for multiple wives. Looking at a beautiful woman might have just sparked a thought about adding another. We seem to miss the piece in the text that says, Then it happened one evening that David arose from...

frederick replied to the thread The beginning of sin of David with Bathsheba, 2 Samuel 11.Exactly, and that's my concern with this situation. I have been as guilty as everyone else of seeing things in the passage that aren't there.

Enough was showing that "she was very beautiful to look upon...." Could'a just been her eyes... 👀 lol 2Sa 11:2 And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and...

Assumptions are free, easy to make. We all have operated under the assumption that she was nekked in her bathing, but it is possible that she was much more careful than that. Bringing a washcloth under a house dress or the equivalent.

The sin started when David continued to desire her knowing that she was a married woman. It got worse when he committed the physical act of adultery, followed by the sin of murder. The other stuff is prudence. It would have probably been...

frederick replied to the thread The beginning of sin of David with Bathsheba, 2 Samuel 11.Is there any indication in the biblical text as to her age? Just a thought here; since it was evening, low light, unknown distance, how do you suppose he would have been able to determine her age? Thanks Steve.
