Sexual Activity

The story of King David illustrates the

consequences of male sexual infidelity.

• Chosen by God and consecrated as King of Israel by the Prophet Samuel.

• Commits adultery with Bathsheba, who becomes pregnant with his child.

• Arranges for the death of Bathsheba’s husband, Uriah.

• Takes Bathsheba for his wife.

• Confronted by the Prophet Nathan who tells David the parable of the two men.

The Story of King David

1. Disharmony in the Family“I will take your wives while you live to see it” (2 Samuel 12:11).

2. Children will Suffer“The child that is born to you shall die” (2 Samuel 12:14).

3. Conflict in Society“The sword shall not depart from your house” (2 Samuel 12:10).

4. Worship of God will Suffer“David may not build a house for my name for he is a man of war and has shed blood” (1 Chronicles 22:8).

The Consequences for King David

Modern men have fallen in a manner analogous to King David and greater society is experiencing the consequences foretold to King David and Israel.
