David and Bathsheba

King David's lustful gaze upon Bathsheba from the palace roof sets off a chain of events that leads to a tumultuous affair, ultimately wreaking havoc on his family and the kingdom of Israel.

David, the King of Israel, craves true love from a woman who loves him as a man, not just as a monarch. He's drawn to Bathsheba, the wife of one of his soldiers, who's more devoted to duty than her husband. Their affair leads to pregnancy, but David's desire to have her husband killed so they can be together sparks God's wrath, threatening the kingdom with drought and famine.
