After his sin involving Bathsheba, David found himself in a horrible-pit - facing the displeasure of God. Rather than repenting and calling upon God for deliverance, he continued to dig the pit yet deeper. Under strong temptation to cover-up his sin, he would sin in yet more grevious ways - making a bad situation worse. Therein lies a warning. Mercifully, we discover that the grace of God can reach down to the bottom of a pit, no matter how horrible it might be.
