The Bible says covetousness is idolatry

(Colossians 3:5).

David saw a very beautiful woman bathing and had her identified.

Despite discovering that she was Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah the Hittite,

David still brought her to himself and slept with her

(2 Samuel 11:2-4).

In the Ten Commandments, the tenth commandment states,

"You shall not covet your neighbor's house.

You shall not covet your neighbor's wife..."

(Exodus 20:17).

However, David violated this commandment

by coveting his neighbor's wife.

The Bible equates covetousness with idolatry

(Colossians 3:5).

Like David, we shouldn't be led by the lust of the eyes

(1 John 2:16)

or allow our eyes to be full of adultery

(2 Peter 2:14),

committing the sin of sleeping with a married woman

(2 Samuel 11:4).
