The second most famous King David story (after Goliath) is this one of moral failure. It is often presented as a private matter between two people probably had never met, but...David's advisor Ahithofel was Bathsheba grandfather...Uriah was one of David's mighty men...He sends servants to get her, notes to his army commander, spies to follow him... This is not small issue. It has everyone talking. Most everyone knows each other...
