The writers of the Bible put this story of David and Bathesheba because the story itself sheds light of David¡¯s human weakness whereas many other stories of David would tell us about his greatness. If it did not have this story, it would have a bias view toward David that he was just a great leader, a powerful general, a skilled musician, and a king.
