Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast, where we

encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible in a year podcast is brought

to you by Ascension using the Great Adventure Bible timeline. We'll read all the way from Genesis to

Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that

story today.

It is day 129.

Man, oh man, this is so good.

We're reading 2nd Samuel chapter 11.

So up to this point, David has been a solid, solid guy.

And 2nd Samuel chapter 11, we're going to see a descent.

And then in First Chronicles, chapters 14 and 15, as well as we're praying Psalm 32, as you all probably already know, the translation of the Bible that we are reading from is the revised standard version, second Catholic edition. I am using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension. To download your own Bible in a year reading plan, you can visit ascensionpress.com slash Bible in a year. And if you have not yet

and 15. And we are praying Psalm 32.

The second book of Samuel, chapter 11. David commits adultery with Bathsheba. In the spring of the

year, the time when kings go forth to battle, David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all

Israel, and they ravaged the Ammonites

and besieged Rabah. But David remained at Jerusalem. It happened late one afternoon, when David

arose from his couch and was walking upon the roof of the king's house that he saw from the roof,

a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful. And David sent and inquired about the woman.

And one said, is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Alyam, the wife of Yeriah, the Hittite?
