true but their are many lessons learned wouldn't you agree?

Yes, I'll definitely give you that.

In fact, I love the human element of all of the Bible heroes. Many cultures sterilize their legendary figures and create heroes suitable for framing. Bible heroes were men of like passions as we are, but were notable not for great virtue or superiority, but for their faith.

Wonderful!!

P.S. I have heard it preached that it started by David not being at the battle where he should have been, he tarried in Jerusalem. Just a small step in the wrong direction.

I've preached that as well, but since he wasn't he should have been enjoying his time off with his own wife. Indirectly maybe, but, I do not believe anymore that his sin was a direct result of staying home from the battle.

But, absolutely, David could have (and most certainly should have) turned and walked away, refusing to let lust be conceived and bring forth sin.

But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. James 1:14,15
