What we do know is that the marriages didn't work. Obviously, this marriage has been working for 12 years now.

You know... Bathsheba was the woman of promise for David. Bathsheba loosely translates, “daughter of the promise”. David married her and she went on to be very influential, even saving Israel and the throne, ensuring that King Solomon would be heir to the throne. Prior to Bathsheba, David was married to Mikal, Achinoam, Abigail, Ma’akah, Chaggith, Abital, and Eglah. Mark them… 7 women before Bathsheba. And at first, Bathsheba was inducted as a mistress in an adulterous encounter. Now, I have a feeling that if Bathsheba was truly the, “daughter of the promise”, Uriah would have died in battle at the hands of fate, and David would have been able to marry Bathsheba without committing murder. I feel David simply got ahead of God by caving into his lusts (just as Abraham and Sarah got ahead of God with Hagar as a result of their impatience).

So if we can say, “third times the charm” with reference to Newt…. What do we say about King David? "Eighth time’s a charm"? Lol

I don't believe I would be putting Newt into a place of promise that David held. Nice try to win an argument.

Stop trying to sully up the White House and our nation to win an argument.
