Mark Moyar Exposes Our Corrupt Bureaucracy

On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss the nature of David's adulterous relationship with Bathsheba before introducing a lecture by Justin Jackson, professor of English at Hillsdale College.
At the pinnacle of his power, King David commits adultery with Bathsheba and has her husband, Uriah, killed in an attempt to cover his sin. These transgressions bring a fourfold judgment against David and his family.
First and Second Samuel tell the story of Saul and David, Israel’s first two kings. These Old Testament books depict the importance of the relationship between father and son and the consequences of sin for the sinner, his family, and his nation. While David’s transgressions lead to great tragedy for himself and Israel, his penitence shows a path toward redemption. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
