Then he manipulated battle positions to have Uriah killed in a fierce battle. King David who was called ”a man after God’s heart” lied, lusted and committed adultery. 2 Samuel 12:13-14 says, “And David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” And Nathan said to David, “The LORD also has allowed your sin to pass you shall not die. Nevertheless, because by this deed you have given opportunity to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the son that is born to you shall certainly die.” (AMP)ĭavid’s son became ill soon after he was born. He also told him that the son that he had with Bathsheba would die. The Lord sent Nathan, a prophet and advisor of David, to tell him that he would be punished for the murder of Uriah but he would live. “But the thing that David had done was evil in the sight of the Lord.” 2 Samuel 11:27b (AMP)
When her time of mourning was over, David brought her to his house and she became his wife. After finding out about her pregnancy, David sent her husband Uriah into a fierce battle and had him assigned to the most dangerous position in the battle. He arranged to sleep with her and she became pregnant. He lusted after Bathsheba, the wife of one of his soldiers. King David committed generational sins, which resulted in death. King David's Generational Sin and Consequences Both father and son lied about their wives because of their own sins of fear and doubt. He was afraid that they would kill him and take her. In Genesis 26 Isaac told the men of Gerar that his wife, Rebekah, was his sister. The lying spirit in Abraham’s family continued to the next generation. Abraham lied because he was afraid of being murdered and losing Sarai. “But the Lord struck Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.” ( Genesis 12:17 NASB) When Pharaoh realized that she was his wife, he told Abraham to take her and go. Pharaoh’s officials praised Sarai to Pharaoh and they took her to his house and he took her for his wife. He knew that she was a beautiful woman and he was afraid that if he told the Egyptians that she was his wife, they would kill him and take her. He told her to say that she was his sister. In Genesis 12 Abraham lied about his relationship with his wife Sarai. Abraham’s family is a prime example of generational sin repeating itself from one generation to another.
