When David Met Bathsheba

Lust, Love, and Power

Identity & Responsibility, Jewish Education, Text & Thought

Come and analyze what really happened at that fateful encounter. Was this mutual attraction? Did Bathsheba knowingly seek to seduce David or was this a case of royal rape, a misuse of temporal power? Did Bathsheba have a voice in this matter? What does the Bible tell us from his side and from hers? What was Bathsheba's background? How does Jewish tradition explain David's actions? R rated for subject matter. Mature audience.
