Day 129: David Commits Adultery (2026)

Mike Schmitz· Host0:00

[gentle music] 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 one hundred and twenty-nine. Man, oh, man, this is so good. We're reading Second Samuel, chapter eleven. So up to this point, David has been a solid, solid guy. And Second Samuel, chapter eleven, we're gonna see a descent. And then in First Chronicles, chapters fourteen and fifteen, as well as we're praying Psalm thirty-two. Uh, 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/bibleinayear.

Reading Second Samuel, chapter seven, First Chronicles, both chapters fourteen and fifteen, and we are praying Psalm thirty-two. The Second Book of Samuel, chapter eleven. 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 Rabbah.
