David slept with Uriah's wife and God was displeased with David’s conduct. Nathan rebuked David for sleeping with Bathsheba, Uriah’s wife. Nathan prophesied that the child born to David through his sin with Bathsheba would surely die. As soon as Nathan left David’s house, the child was struck with sickness. David fasted and prayed to God that the child might be saved. He laid on the floor all night. The older servants of the house tried to cheer him up but he refused to wake up. He did not eat either. He was inconsolable. After seven days, the child died. The servants did not know how to tell David because they perceived that if they told him, he might hurt himself seeing that even while the child was alive nobody could console him. David noticed that his servants were whispering among themselves so he perceived that the child was dead. He asked whether the child was dead and they said "yes". David stood up from the floor. He took his bath and anointed himself. He put on a new dress. He now went into the house of the Lord and worshiped. After that, he went home and when he asked for food, it was placed before him and he ate. His servants could not understand David. They told him that while the child was sick he fasted and prayed but now that the child was dead, he had risen up and eaten food. David replied that while the child was alive, he thought he could pray to the Lord so that the Lord might save his life but now that the child is dead, there is no need to fast and pray again. Now that the child is dead, he could not bring him back to life. According to David, he could go to the baby one day but the baby could come to where he was. David consoled Bathsheba for the lost of the child. He slept with her again and she bore a child whom he called Solomon and the Lord loved this child. God sent Nathan to David, and the boy was specially named Jedidiah because the Lord loved the child.

In Paul's teaching, he said that since no man could claim perfection, he could not be justified by acts of the law, but only by faith in Jesus Christ. Abraham was righteous not by the law, but by act of his faith in God's promise. Those who believe in salvation through obedience to the law have no claim to faith. Those who believe in God's promise through faith as Abraham did are heirs of God's kingdom. Law brings punishment because it leads to the knowledge of sin and transgression. Faith is based on grace, love and peace. Though Abraham was 100 years and his wife m promise of a child. And God gave unto them Isaac. In other words Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about but not before God. Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness. Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Without weakening in his faith, He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.

(9b)

But the Quraysh violated the treaty when they helped the Banu Bakr tribe to attack the Banu Khuza's tribe. To help Bhanu Khuza's, Prophet Muhammad gathered an army of 10,000 men and divided it into four columns to attack from different sides. There were only 14 causalities in the war and the Muslim army spared everyone who converted to Islam.
