This song is about a Bible story called “David and Bathsheba”. It’s found in
II Samuel, chapter 11 (in the Old Testament). If you have a Bible sitting 
around, pick it up and read it. You will understand what he is talking about 
in this song once you do. Or you could just read it at this URL that I have
created:
