David's oldest son, Amnon, is recorded as having raped his half-sister Tamar. When David found out about the rape, he was angry but took no action, providing a poor example as a loving father. It was left to another son, Absalom, to kill Amnon in revenge after two years.
The Book of Chronicles makes it seem that David was married to his full sister. 1 Chronicles 2:13-16 says that David's sister was Abigail; 3:1 commences a genealogy, with Abigail his second wife. These are the only two Abigails in the entire Bible, so it is implausible that David simply married the only known woman in all Hebrew history to have the same name as his sister. So as long as we accept the Book of Chronicles as a true record of ancient times, David was an immoral king.
Further to this, the Books of Samuel seem to suggest that David was bisexual, with a love for Saul's son, Jonathan:
- 1 Samuel 20:30: Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness?
- 2 Samuel 1:26: [David:] I am distressed for thee my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me; thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.

What bad things did paul do in the old testement?

Can you say that God of the Bible is good and Demiurge is the bad God?
This is not an entirely accurate statement of the Gnostic Christian belief about the nature of God. They could not believe that the harsh and unjust God of the Old Testament was the same as the loving and forgiving God of the New Testament, so they believed there must be two gods. The God of the Old Testament became the Demiurge, while the supreme God is the God of the New Testament. Thus, God of the New Testament is good and the Demiurge, the God of the Old Testament, is the bad God.

Did King Saul lose his salvation when he disobeyed God?
The concept of salvation does not appear in the Old Testament; it is introduced in the New Testament. We are told that it is bad to disobey God, but nothing in the story of King Saul suggests that this would have caused him to lose his salvation. The whole issue of how people get saved if they lived and died at an earlier historical period than that of Jesus Christ is somewhat complicated and has involved the concept of purgatory, where the soul of King Saul presumably was sent, pending his salvation.

How did God guide his people in times of bad kings?
The prophets were called upon by God to guide the people and to guide the king. While the king had authority in national matters of state, and the Sanhedrin (Sages) had say in Torah-rulings and halakha (law), the prophets spoke in matters of ethics, of belief, of loyalty to God, and behavior.Even in times of bad kings, there were always many Israelites who heeded the prophets and kept the Torah.See also:More about the prophets
