1Ch 20:1, It happened in the spring of the year, at the time KINGS GO OUT TO BATTLE, that Joab led out the armed forces and ravaged the country of the people of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. BUT DAVID STAYED AT JERUSALEM….
David should have been with his men, yet because he stayed home and had idle time; he lusted over a woman he saw bathing and ended with her husband (Uriah) being murdered!
Gen 4:7, … SIN LIES AT THE DOOR. AND ITS DESIRE IS FOR YOU, BUT YOU SHOULD RULE OVER IT.”
Mat 26:41, WATCH AND PRAY, LEST YOU ENTER INTO TEMPTATION. THE SPIRIT INDEED IS WILLING, BUT THE FLESH IS WEAK.”
David wrote Psalm 51 in which he confessed his sin against God!
Psa 51:3-4, For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me. Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight—That You may be found just when You speak, And blameless when You judge.
We all fall short of HIS glory because of our sin nature. Rom 3:23
1Ch 20:2, Then David took their king’s crown from his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it. AND IT WAS SET ON DAVID’S HEAD…
1Jn 1:9, IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND TO CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.
WE’RE NOT PERFECT AND HE KNOWS THAT WE ARE BUT DUST; CONFESS YOUR SINS AND GET RIGHT WITH THE LORD!
