Getting ready
Age & adult help
The original catalogue requires an educator to review the story’s wording and illustrations before assigning a child age range.
Review the actual printable and passage before choosing it for your group.
What you’ll need
Printer, paper, colouring pencils or crayons. An adult reader may be helpful for younger children.
Time & preparation
One comic page, including colouring. Shared reading and discussion are additional.
Construction profile: 6–12 years. Story content prevents a confirmed child age recommendation without viewing the asset. Difficulty, completion time and suggested tools are planning estimates, not build-tested.
Check the file before you print for a group, and allow for any extra help the kids might need.
Printing tipsThe story behind the craft
Bible passage: 2 Samuel 11
David uses his royal power to take Bathsheba and then arranges Uriah’s death to cover what he has done. The account ends by making clear that David’s actions are wrong.
Main takeaway: Power does not excuse abuse, deception or the harm done to others.
While you colour the panels
Read the panels in order, pausing at a change in a character’s action or understanding.
This passage needs adult-led selection and age-appropriate language. Keep responsibility with David rather than blaming Bathsheba for his choices.
Younger learners can describe an action in one panel. Older learners can compare a caption with its Bible passage and discuss what a short comic leaves out.
Questions to explore
- How did David misuse his power?
- Who was harmed by his cover-up?
- Why must a powerful person still be held responsible?
Common questions
What files are included in this download?
The download is a 1-page PDF: DavidandBathsheba_2Samuel11.pdf. This is the English edition. You print the files yourself; physical supplies are not included.
Is this a comic to read or a colouring sheet?
It combines both on one page: outlined comic panels with story captions. Read the panels in sequence, then colour and talk about the illustrated moments. It is a flat printable, with no paper mechanism to assemble. Printed captions include “David sent for Bathsheba, and they spent time together” and “King David saw Bathsheba and admired her beauty”.
Which pages should I print, and at what size?
The original PDF pages are A4 portrait. DavidandBathsheba_2Samuel11.pdf: print the page for each learner or group. Print single-sided. On US Letter paper, select Letter and Fit or shrink to the printable area; the originals are not separate Letter-sized files.
What supplies and preparation does this need?
Printer paper and colouring pencils or crayons. An adult can read the captions and help children follow the order of the panels.
What help might children need with this activity?
An educator should review the actual wording and illustrations before choosing this account for children. David uses his royal power to take Bathsheba and then arranges Uriah’s death to cover what he has done. The account ends by making clear that David’s actions are wrong. Read the panels or captions yourself first and decide how to explain the difficult parts for your group.
