Biblical Couples: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly
It should be no surprise then that the Bible’s narrative is so often impacted by a man and woman together. Some are good, some are bad, but here we take a look at some of the most famous couples in the Good Book!
David and Bathsheba
The king of Israel’s first genuine abuse of power, David used his position of authority to seduce a married woman and have her husband killed on the frontlines of battle. But Bathsheba remained loyal to the father of her child and became the King’s wife and the mother of Solomon.
Boaz and Ruth
As a young widow, Ruth had little standing in Jewish culture without a husband. She worked hard to provide for her mother-in-law, and Boaz took pity on her without actually insulting her pride by instructing his servants to leave her good food without Ruth knowing. Through feigned courtship, Ruth was grafted into the line of David and Jesus.
