1 In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab out with the king’s men and the whole Israelite army. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem.
2 One evening David walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, 3 and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, “She is Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah the Hittite.” 4 Then David sent messengers to get her. She came to him, and he slept with her. 5 The woman conceived and sent word to David, saying, “I am pregnant.”

NOTES ON MY SELECTION CRITERIA Q u a l i t y The Bible and its Author are my focus, not the art:
this is The Bible in Paintings, not “Great Paintings” nor even “Good Paintings.” So, works need not be masterpieces to qualify for inclusion here—they don’t need to be housed at the Louvre nor auctioned by Sotheby’s. They only need to illustrate successfully some aspect of the Biblical text or, frankly, just tickle my fancy, which I'm asking the Holy Spirit to guide. Often, artists misrepresent the Scripture, but unless the error is material, licentious or heretical I usually include the artwork, trusting that the Spirit is perfectly capable of defending Himself. So, with such forgiving filters, it means that you're seeing practically everything I'm finding.P a c i n g The pace may seem glacial to those eager to see their favorite events. My commission is to search for art on each Bible passage in sequence; if I find enough, then it becomes the next installment, even if undramatic. But where there is no art, that Bible passage goes untold here. The Bible is a thick book, as you know; but we'll get there eventually, Lord willing. Always remember:
love, joy, peace, patience kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control is a fruit of the Spirit!Art is merely the Toy Department of Bible study,
so I’m just having fun here—I hope you are, too!
Thank you for your understanding.. .

Should have been applying that lustful angst elsewhere, as the text plainly implies.
This is very educational series. Many of the painters copy poses and tableaux from one another, but others seem to derive an original vision from the text. I enjoy Chagall’s unique artist’s license. Others make a stab at historic accuracy, which was a lot harder to do then, and some don’t even try, like the hairstyles in the movie poster. Then, as my art history teacher often observed with a sigh, there are the homosexual male artists struggling to accurately depict the female chest anatomy, of whiich they apparently lack experience.
That explains a lot.
