Some of Blondie's comments on her WT review makes me post this question. The WT always holds up David as a great
example. They love him. Why is this man so special? He had a bad temper. He was presumptous. He used his authority and position to take another man's wife
and later had her husband killed. He was the cause for the smiting of 70k Israelites by Jehovah. He didn't have the courage to kill Saul, but had the guy killed
who said he did it. His own kids rebelled against him. People were always dieing around him. He was a man of tremendous voilence who used voilence
as a political tool on the battlefield and behind the scenes. And through it all he remained King and escaped the sentence of death that any poor Israelite
woulod have certainly received had he done the things David did. In his case, it was good to be the king.
