G. Campbell Morgan says, "In the whole of the Old Testament literature there is no chapter more tragic or full of solemn and searching warning than this." It is a story of King David committing adultery and then murder to satisfy his passion, written as if the author was somehow an eyewitness to these disreputable happenings.
However, it must be remembered that the Second Book of Samuel was written many centuries after the time attributed to King David. If there really was a King David, it is scarcely credible that the author would have such detailed knowledge of what might have happened so long ago, so perhaps we should absolve David of guilt on this score. And if we accept the traditional view, that Samuel wrote this passage, either during the time of David or that of his son Solomon, then he and his book would have been unlikely to have survived. This is literary drama.
