Weekly Devotion: it
This is a tale of one guy, and two relationships:
Remember David and Jonathan? In 1 Samuel these guys become the closest of friends. Chapter 18 even tells us that “Jonathan became one in spirit with David, and he loved him as himself.” It’s a profound story of friendship and honor.
Remember David and Bathsheba? A very different story. David simply saw a woman, thought she was hot, and with no other considerations claimed her for himself. He treated her as a commodity. There was no love, and no honor.
How could the same guy treat two people so very differently?
