In the biblical narrative of 2 Samuel, King David had sent his military commander Joab to lead Israel's army against the Ammonites, while David remained in Jerusalem. This chapter unfolds during a time of moral failure for David, as he committed adultery with Bathsheba and orchestrated the death of her husband, Uriah, by placing him in the front lines of battle.
