We don’t need the fiction of today’s soap operas to know how devious and evil people can be to one another, especially within our families. The cleverness, deceit, backstabbing, and lying in this reading have their roots in David’s adultery (chapter 11). And this “episode” is the basis of more tragedy to come. The only way to keep things from getting worse was to learn and do the will of God (Deuteronomy 10:12-13). But that is not what they did.
