2 Samuel 11:2-4

One evening David got up from his bed and strolled around on the roof of the palace. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing— a very beautiful woman. So David sent and inquired about the woman, and he was told, “This is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.” Then David sent messengers to get her, and when she came to him, he slept with her. (Now she had just purified herself from her uncleanness.) Then she returned home.

    strains against 2 Samuel 11:2-4

    Directly recalls David's sin with Bathsheba, using it as a picture of desire overtaking devotion rather than condemning it outright.
