King David's darkest moment is described in 2 Samuel 11, despite his past blessings. The text challenges readers to consider the worth of their own lives and how they may relate to David's story. In a dark place, David acknowledges the availability of God. This human tendency to place ourselves in others' stories is examined through David's story. We also see that, despite his mistakes, David is considered one of the greatest men of faith in biblical history. The Israelites thrived in the place where David and Solomon ruled, emphasizing the potential for growth in dark places.
