King David uncovered himself to his handmaids and servants. 2 Samuel 6:20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! He and Saul have a contest to see who can kill the most people for God, "Saul has killed his thousands, and David his tens of thousands." 1Samuel 18:6-7 . He kills 200 Philistines and brings their foreskins to Saul to buy his first wife (Saul's daughter Michal). 1 Samuel 18:25=27. He "smote the land and left neither man nor woman alive." 1 SAmuel 27:8-11. He kills Goliath with his sling, beheads him, and carries the head back to Jerusalem. 1 Sam 17:51-57He acts like he's crazy, scribbles on the gates of Gath, and lets spit run down his beard. All this he did in front of Israel's enemies in the hopes that they would take him in and protect him from Saul. 1 Sam 21:12. He "inquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the Lord said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines ... So David smote them with a great slaughter." 1 Samuel 23;2. He vows to kill "any that pisseth against the wall." 1 Samuel 25:22. He had many) wives. 1 Samuel 30. He tells one of his "young men" to kill the Amalekite messenger who claimed to have mercifully killed Saul at Saul's own request. 2 Samuel 1:15. He says that whoever kills the lame and the blind will be his "chief and captain." 2 Sam.5:8. He asks God if he should kill some more Philistines. God says yes, and he'll even help. So David and God "smote the Philistines" again. 2 Samuel 5:19. He dances nearly naked in front of God and everybody. Michal criticizes him for it and God punishes her by having "no child unto the day of her death." 2 Sam.6:14, 20-22. He kills two thirds of the Moabites and makes the rest slaves. He also cripples the captured horses. 2 Samuel 8:2. He kills and tortures thousands of people, "and the Lord preserved David withersoever he went." 2 Samuel 8;6. He sees a woman (Bathsheba) bathing and likes what he sees. so he sends for her and commits adultery with her "for she was purified from her uncleanness." She conceives and bears a son (which God later kills to punish David). 2 Samuel 11:2. He tells Joab (his captain) to send Bathseba's husband (Uriah) to "the forefront of the hottest battle ... that he may be smitten and die." In this way, David gets another wife. 2 Samuel 11:15. He saws, hacks, and burns to death all the inhabitants of several cities. 2 Samuel 12;31, 1 Chron 20:1. He shows unusual restraint and "went not in unto his concubines." Instead, he imprisons them as a punishment for being raped by David's son, Absalom. 2 Samuel 20:3. To appease God and end the famine that was caused by his predecessor (Saul), David agrees to have seven of Saul's sons killed and hung up "unto the Lord." 2 Samuel 21:6.Old King David tries to get some heat by having a beautiful virgin minister unto him. 1 Kings 1;1. In David's last words, he commands his son Solomon to murder Joab. I Kings 2:5-9

How was Solomon?

1 Kings ch.1 Shortly before King David died, there was one last rebellion, by his son Adoniyah who unlawfully proclaimed himself the next king. Bathsheva and Nathan urged David to take action, and David had his loyal servants put Solomon on his (David's) personal mule and take him down to the Gichon stream, where Zadok and Nathan anointed him as king. Solomon then sat on David's throne and the people came to bless him, and David praised God.See also:More about King DavidMore about King Solomon
