EP 127: Three Times A Victim: Bathsheba

Were you ever told that Bathsheba and King David had an affair? In our series of studying bible characters who suffered abuse, we are going to dive into the truth about Bathsheba and how she was a victim in three ways. We'll look at all the things that David was supposed to be doing but didn't. And how sin hurts innocent people and has serious consequences.

Brought to you by DSW Ministries. Your host is singer songwriter, speaker and domestic violence advocate, Diana Winkler. She is passionate about helping survivors in the church heal from domestic violence and abuse and trauma. This podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling or qualified medical help. [00:00:26] Now here is Diana. [00:00:33] Hi everyone. Welcome back to the show. I hope that you are doing well. It has been a crazy week, hasn't it? [00:00:42] I've decided to do this week's lesson on people in the Bible who have suffered abuse, prominent people in the Bible. You may have heard their story. You may only know some of their story, but not all of it.[00:01:00] I've decided to do this week's lesson on Bathsheba. It has been all over Twitter, and it drives me nuts because it is very plain in the text, very clear in the Bible if you're reading the Bible, that Bathsheba was raped. [00:01:20] She was not having an affair with King David. And so we're going to explore that today and you'll see for yourself that Bathsheba was a victim. And I probably need to just get off of Twitter and quit reading those feeds. But it does make me angry when we've got, these preachers and leaders of churches that are being misogynistic, blaming women for everything, for every man's choice. [00:01:51] Or, not letting David, [00:01:53] Take the consequences for his bad choices, for his own sin. [00:01:58] so get your [00:02:00] Bibles out if you wanna follow along. We are going to be in Second Samuel chapter 11, [00:02:08] I'm reading from the ESV version. You can read whichever version that you enjoy. You'll still get the same conclusion.
