Best Answer

King David was impatient, complicit, and had a weakness for women. He had an affair with Bathsheda which resulted in a pregnancy. He effectively had her husband killed. He allowed his sons to rape and murder. He retook the throne of Jerusalem without the consent of Israel. All of these things displeased the Lord and led to his downfall.

Answer:

King David never had a "downfall." Except in the matter of Uriah, he was the perfect man (1 Kings 15:5). The above answer is based on a secular perusal of The Bible without tradition or commentary and presumes to judge without many pertinent details.
