"The words of King Lemuel, the oracle which his mother taught him" - Proverbs 31:1
Ever feel like there's no way God could redeem even the worst sins of your past? Consider this:
Jewish tradition holds that Solomon is "King Lemuel" of Proverbs 31, and what he writes is two poems divinely inspired by God (as implied by the word "oracle") which he received from his mother. Who was his mom? Bathsheba. So, what we have then is probably the most well known Proverb (at least to Christian singles!) originating from the most well known adulteress who was also an accomplice in her husband's well known murder. Talk about redemption!
