Watershed in David's life

2 Samuel 11:14-27
David wanted Uriah's wife to be his wife and hide he slept with her, he made a murdered Uriah through the cooperation of Joab.
Uriah did not know he send a letter to kill himself.
But the thing David had done displeased the Lord.
The events that follow- adultery and murder - are the watershed分水嶺 in David's life. From this point on he reaps the bitter harvest of his sin. Although all seemed to be going according to plan, "The Lord was not pleased with what David had done."
Why?
The army is on campaign, under canvas, and the rule is that the men abstain戒除 from sexual intercourse交往. Had Uriah been a man of less principle he would have gone home to his wife. The child might then have been passed off as his, and he would not have been killed. But may be he already suspected the truth.
How?
God knows everything people had done. God sometimes does not stop it happen, but the judgement follow. Everyone has to take the responsibility to what he had done.
