Daughter of Eliam
(2 Sam 11)
Bathsheba was the daughter of Eliam
And David went out to trot
After that wife of a loyal Hittite
A woman bound to do right.
He was a fellow by the name of Uriah
So David worked up a plan to say “Goodbye-a”
Put him right out on the front line;
He’d be killed and David’s sin wouldn’t shine.
Yeah, conspirators were David and Joab!
Didn’t take but one little jab
Of a spear from the enemies of Israel.
But for grace, a murderer must go to hell
And to that place, David surely was bound,
But for the grace in Messiah that he found.
And that’s a story that will come a little later;
Got to see first that David’s quite the hater.
He’s a man quite grim, full of sin;
Only God his salvation could win.
A Bathsheba may come into your life.
Run away and stick with your wife!
