Process

I was listening to a person give a speech/sermon on David and Bathsheba... (Ironic that her name starts with 'Bath' and David saw her bathing...) And I started to think about bathsheba's response to this whole situation. What kind of woman was she really? Since I'm assuming that Uriah was a Godly man, then you would figure that as a Godly man, he would marry nothing else but a Godly woman. So i can't even imagine what she had to do. I mean, the King- someone who could kill you if you don't obey him- called to her to have sex with him...when she was married. Did she put up a fight? What in the world was she feeling? And then! She's pregnant. Her sin incarnate...even worse- the father of the baby kills her husband! It's really a horrible story... with a very happy ending, but I wouldn't have been surprised if Bathsheba killed herself. Was God even talking to her, rebuking her?

...maybe I'm going over board with the whole feelings thing... and maybe it's because I'm a woman and i'm very sympathetic to her situation, and the bible doesn't have a lot of women insight in it... but i can't help but wonder.
