These chapters start of with Abner dying and apparently a fight broke out between David's and Saul's houses. Saul's son is killed and David inherits the throne. David then sees a woman bathing and falls in love with her. What happened to privacy? Anyways, he sleeps with her and sends her husband, one of David's soldiers, to the front line of battle to be killed. David gets her pregnant and is contacted by a priest named Nathan. Nathan tells David what he did was wrong and to ask for forgiveness from the Lord. David does so until his son dies and just stops.
Wait. David, the chosen king by God, just committed adultery and indirectly assassinated one of his soldiers for his own good. What happened to good old David. The one fought for his family and took care of his little sheep. I miss him. The new one is such an asshole. After getting the consequences, he didn't even care for what he did. He was sorry until something bad happened to him, then he didn't feel sorry anymore. Selfish prick. God was probably thinking he screwed up by picking him to be the king. I guess living with sheep doesn't give you the best morality in the world.
