After 2 Samuel 11:1-27
He was not where
he should have been;
he stayed home instead
of leading his army.
He observed what
he should not have seen,
the wife of another,
the wife of a soldier
at war. He desired
what he should not have
wanted, another man’s
wife, her husband away
in battle. He took what
was not his, no matter
how dazzled he was.
He dishonored another
man’s wife, he dishonored
the man, he dishonored
himself, he dishonored
his God. It was all
broken, but it was never
a hallelujah.
