Our Bathsheba

Who named our beach Bathsheba? Is there any consideration for the renaming of this popular sea bathing area? This is perhaps one of the most tempting spots. History and the Bible tells us of another Bathsheba that tempted greatly too. King David after witnessing the splashing of water across her nakedness found himself going there too to participate in the pleasures there in.

See

2 Samuel 11:1-4


 

Our Bathsheba

 

Once the name is spoken

Uttered in circles, emotions are broken  

Remembrances of the adultery

By King David who contrivingly

Arranged the absence of Uriah the Hittite

That with his wife Bathsheba he might

Have carnal knowledge and do as he may

She had tempted him taking a Bath she bare skinned each day

Have our beautiful coast been named after he

Etched in our souls to remind us that we

By the beach have these tempting Baths he barely could withstand

Are we flocking to Bathsheba tempted by her naked sea and sand

    Tempting during the day and even more beautiful in the moon light at night.

    This is preciously how David got into trouble with his Bathsheba
