b'Throughout the Old Testament, we meet men of varying backgrounds who set out to obey the Lord and deliver God\\u2019s people. Time and again, God\\u2019s people rejoice and revel in their hero, but inevitably, these men fall and are shown to be sinful. David is no exception. Luxury and boredom turn into lust, which turns into an abuse of power, then adultery, then deception, then second-hand murder. Though he tries to hide his sin by sinning further, the Lord will not allow the sin of Israel\\u2019s king to go unpunished. Because of his sin, the Lord says that he will take David\\u2019s wives and give them to another before all of Israel. While 2 Samuel records this failure, 1 Chronicles does not.'
