David then ordered Uriah's death and married Bathsheba to cover up the affair. The prophet Nathan confronted David for his sin and prophesied the death of his child with Bathsheba and continuous strife within his household. In response to Nathan's rebuke, David confessed his sin (2 Sam 12:13). David and Bathsheba's son became very ill, and David desperately pleaded for his son's life. Nevertheless, the child died as Nathan had prophesied, and David then went and worshipped in the house of YHWH.</li><li>In 2 Sam 7, YHWH made a covenant with David to raise up a son in his place and to ensure an everlasting Davidic dynasty. Though David was not permitted to build a temple to YHWH in Jerusalem, he was permitted to aid the preparations for the building task that would be completed by his son Solomon (1 Chr 22).</li><li>Since the king is the representative of the people and is responsible for their well-being, David's individual restoration can lead to collective restoration.</li></ul>, David's individual restoration can lead to collective restoration.</li></ul> +

When Nathan the prophet came to him,</br>:when he had had sexual intercourse with Bathsheba.</br>:3. Show mercy to me, God, according to your loyalty;</br>:according to your abundant compassion wipe away my transgressions.</br>:4. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,</br>:and cleanse me from my sin,</br>:5. because I am [continually] aware of my transgressions,</br>:and my sin is constantly in front of me.</br>:6. Against you alone I have sinned,</br>:and I have done what is evil in your eyes,</br>:such that you are in the right whenever you speak,</br>:[and such that] you are faultless whenever you judge.</br>:7. Look, I was born in iniquity,</br>:and in guilt my mother conceived me.</br>:8. Look, you desire truth in the covered places,</br>:and you make me know wisdom in the closed-off place.</br>:9. [Would you please] purify me with hyssop, so that I will be clean;</br>:[would you please] wash me, so that I will be whiter than snow.</br>:10. [Would you please] make me hear gladness and joy;</br>:[so that] the bones that you have crushed might rejoice.</br>:11. Hide your face from my sins,</br>:and wipe away all my iniquities.</br>:12. Create a clean heart for me, God,</br>:and renew a steadfast spirit within me.</br>:13. Do not cast me away from before you,</br>:and do not take your holy spirit away from me.</br>:14. Restore to me the gladness that results from your salvation,</br>:and [would you please] support me with a willing spirit.</br>:15. I intend to teach transgressors your ways,</br>:so that sinners will turn back to you.</br>:16. Deliver me from bloodshed, God,</br>:the God who saves me,</br>:[so that] my tongue will shout for joy about your righteousness.</br>:17. Lord, [would you please] open my lips,</br>:so that my mouth will report praise concerning you.</br>:18. For you do not delight in sacrifice[s], </br>:or else I would give [them];</br>:you are not pleased with burnt offering[s].</br>:19. The sacrifices [acceptable to] God are broken spirit[s];</br>:a broken and crushed heart,</br>:God, you do not despise.</br>:20. Do good to Zion in accord with what pleases you;</br>:[would you please] build the walls of Jerusalem.</br>:21. Then you will delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offering[s] and whole offering[s];</br>:then [people] will offer up bulls on your altar.</br>[people] will offer up bulls on your altar.
I have sinned against you, therefore wash … I have sinned against you, therefore wash me thoroughly and create a clean heart for me so that I will praise you. I intended to teach transgressors your ways, so that sinners will turn back to you, and so that you will delight in right sacrifices because you do good to Zion!ht sacrifices because you do good to Zion! +
