“The Trial of King David” – Wednesdays, Feb. 5 & 12, 7:00pm

Join us for a mock grand jury and trial of King David, accused of voyeurism (David chose to keep his eyes on the alluring image of a married woman, Bathsheba, bathing); adultery (David had sex with Bathsheba, impregnating her); and subsequent murder of her husband, Uriah. David indulged his sensual lusts for years and ignored God’s warnings and ways of escape. He allowed temptation to turn into lust and lust to turn into adultery. When the consequences of his adultery threatened to expose him, he covered it first with deception and then with murder.

Judge: The Honorable Fred Hirsh
Prosecuting Attorney: Jim Whitehill
Defense Attorney: David Polan
Defendant: King David – David Ben-Asher
