2nd Samuel 3:2 And unto David were sons born in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; 3 And his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur.
Thus, as satan pulled the files on David’s history, he saw that there was a pattern of behavior in the man that would be most likely to lend itself favorably to temptation, if the right circumstances were to be put into place. And so, he goes to work, planning a diabolic strategy that would ultimately be executed with surgical accuracy. The window of opportunity for most women to get pregnant in a month is six days, and therefore, the planning of satan must take this into consideration, for it was his purpose that David’s one night stance must result in pregnancy.
Also, the tailormade temptation would have to be executed during daylight hours, in order for David to be able to see Bathsheba, as nightfall would negate the effort. David would also have to be home, on his rooftop at the exact moment, and thus, matters and situations must somehow be made to converge at the precise time, for David to decide to go up on his rooftop, for some unknown reason.
The exact spot where Bathsheba would be located must be at such an angle that David would get the best view of her, and at the same time, the devil has to make certain that her husband would not be at home, for if Uriah were to be present, this would be a spoiler, no doubt. Also, the weather has to also be conducive to the temptation, since a rainy day would most likely find his targets indoors, and thus, the devil goes to the weather channel to study the precipitation if any for that day. He discovers that it would be a sunny day with clear blue skies and he says bingo.
James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempts he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
May God add is blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
