Maj. Gen. Joseph Harrington Suspended Over Suggestive Messages

If anyone knows the Major General, maybe they could send this to him.

A few other observations:
(1) David had begun this backsliding episode by “staying home” rather than joining his troops as was his custom. This was a neglect of his duties. (In the spring when kings go off to war, David sent Joab)
In the conflicts which followed David scrupulously attended to the point where he was a concern to his troops.
(2) Upon David’s death Uriah was mentioned in the King’s list of valiant warriors (I Chronicles 11). Further underscoring what a great soldier he was.
(3) Nathan showed great courage in speaking “truth to power” and could have been summarily executed. Yet David appreciated the prophet’s reprimand and named one of his sons Nathan. Nathan was critical in Solomon’s rise.
(4) Joab had this secret (Uriah’s battlefield murder) to hold over David’s head. Later, David let Solomon know that Joab was a true weasel.
