What were David's sins?

Answer 1

King David committed many sins with just one situation. He lusted after Bathsheba when he saw her naked on her rooftop - she was taking a bath. He had sex with her and she became pregnant. When King David found out, he attempted to cover it up by having Bathsheba's husband, Uriah, come home and lay with Bathsheba. However, Uriah refused, so King David sent Uriah to the front lines of the war and he was killed. King David was guilty of lust, adultery, and murder.

Answer 2

David's sins included committing adultery with Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah the Hittite, and arranging for Uriah to be killed in battle to cover up the affair. David's actions were a betrayal of trust, abuse of power, and led to severe consequences for both himself and others.

Answer 3

1) Running a protection racket on his fellow Judaeans

2) His intended murder of Nabal (brought short by the efforts of Nabal's wife, Abigail)

2) Eating the "shewbread" from the altar, permitted only for the priests

3) His adulterous affair with Bath-Sheba

4) His attempt to cover up this affair, when she became pregnant, by calling Uriah (her husband) back from the war and suggesting that he stay with her (Uriah refused)

5) His premeditated murder of Uriah, finally, as his previous plot to cover up the adultery failed (his punishment was the death of that son by her, and also the rebellion of his son Absalom and Absalom's taking of David's concubines in public)

6) His taking a census of the people of Judah and Israel (his punishment was a plague which ravaged his kingdom)

Answer 4

David was a man just like man today in that he sinned in his life. The two sins that are mentioned most about David was his adultery with Bathsheba and his planning and ordering the murder of Bathsheba's husband.

Answer 5

David appeared to commit adultery but was not technically culpable, since the cuckolded man was a rebel who deserved to die, was sentenced to die, and had actually divorced his wife with whom David slept (Talmud, Shabbat 56a).

Nonetheless, the circumstances were considered a blemish in David's otherwise perfect record of righteousness, and God punished him by taking the life of one of his sons; and two other sons (Absalom and Adonijah) rebelled against David's rule and ended up dead.

Answer 6

Taking a married woman for his own wife then engineering the death of her real husband she was already married to.
