2 Samuel 11:3 - Additional Comments

Note that David had lots of wives and concubines - 2 Sam 5:13.
David has lots of time to avoid this temptation. Think of all the time and trouble he had to go through to do the sin. He kept pushing and kept going. Have you ever been where you have not yet sinned, but the desire becomes so heavy you go out of your way to sin? David certainly went out of his way. That's why Scripture memorization is so critical, so God can flash His Word at you to squelch that desire.
And remember 1 Cor 10:13 - God promises there is a way to avoid the temptation - there is a way to escape. Take it!
